Kate Sandoval, Beauty Editor of Latina Magazine, giving Fall fashion tips.

A few of us from EPMG attended Macy’s Hispanic Heritage Month celebration at Macy’s Fashion Valley, San Diego, on October 6, 2011.

This fall, Macy’s celebrates Latino Americans with partners Latina Magazine and the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. To mark Latina Magazine’s 15th anniversary, Macy’s hosts a series of in-store special events that will reinforce the transformative power of education. In support of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund’s goal of dramatically increasing the number of Hispanic college graduates, Macy’s teamed up with the Fund to award one scholarship recipient with a nine-week paid summer internship within Macy’s Marketing department in 2012. The Hispanic Scholarship Fund’s national initiative, Generation 1st Degree, has an exemplary goal to ensure that every Latino household has at least one college degree by 2025. Macy’s and the HSF will select the internship winner from those who apply nationwide and will also offer a $1000 Wardrobe Scholarship to kick-off the summer job with appropriate business attire.

The event at Macy’s Fashion Valley, San Diego, was hosted by Latina editors Kate Sandoval and Verky Arcos, as well as contributors Lauren Consenza and Jackie Gomez. The hour long event featured Latina magazine’s fashion and style expertise, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund’s innovative programs and of course, fun back-to-school and fall fashions as modeled by the Latina Model Search winners.
