Gunderson Dettmer Commemorates 2025 Hispanic Heritage Month

Gunderson Dettmer is proud to commemorate Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, 2025. This year, we celebrate the vibrant contributions of the Hispanic and Latinx communities by offering resources and hosting events that honor their rich cultural legacy.

Our theme, “Collective Heritage: Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future,” reflects on the traditions and achievements of Hispanic and Latinx people throughout history, while also embracing the creativity and promise of future generations. 

Reflection

"Being part of the Hispanic community comes with its own flavor of experiences — like resilience seasoned with a little sazón. It’s shaped an identity I’m proud to wear like my favorite guayabera. I’ve always loved how we embrace our different cultures and then glue them together… Unidos, we grow.

As a third-generation Dominican, I carry the stories of my abuelos and parents while also writing my own. That mix of past and present is what makes our voices strong and our future brighter. We’ve been challenged as a community of makers, dreamers— but our resilience is always louder than any obstacle.

This Hispanic Heritage Month reminds me how important it is to share where we come from and honor the powerful lineage we’re building. Unidos, this is our moment to celebrate history, elevate each other, and keep writing the next chapter together."  -- Hector Hernandez, Unidos Affinity Group Professional Staff Convener
