Inclusive Scheduling Guide
In general, we recommend avoiding early morning (prior to 8am) and evening (5pm or later) meetings.
These are dates that members of our community have frequently mentioned are important to them. They may be helpful as you plan upcoming division-wide or department-wide events. The specific dates vary from year to year for the starred holidays and celebrations.
Visit the Office of Spiritual and Religious Life (OSRL) for a more comprehensive list of multifaith religious observances and to add the multi-faith religious observances calendar to your Outlook Calendar.
