One of the ways we can respect, honor, and include all students, faculty, and staff on campus is to recognize the religious and holy days of various religious and secular traditions celebrated on our campus. Many traditions observe holy days that may require participants to ask for accommodations, such as time off from work or classes. Because of this, we have created an Interfaith Holiday Calendar that includes holy days, religious holidays, and festivals that many people within our community might celebrate.
