Ramadan Mubarak, Blessed Lent, and Happy Lunar New Year To All Who Are Celebrating

This year brings a beautiful convergence of sacred seasons. Muslims are entering Ramadan, a month of fasting, reflection, and spiritual renewal. Christians began Lent on Ash Wednesday, embarking on forty days of prayer, sacrifice, and recommitment. And families across East and Southeast Asian communities are celebrating the Lunar New Year, gathering in gratitude and hope for fresh beginnings. Though these traditions arose in different historical and cultural contexts, each invites us to pause, look inward, and strive to be better neighbors to one another. In a world that often feels divided, this shared season of renewal offers a quiet reminder of our common humanity. We are grateful to share in this work with you, especially in moments like this that remind us what is possible when communities choose connection over division.

Here is a helpful overview of what you should know, and what Muslim students or employees may request during this time: Ramadan Accommodations  

As always, take your cues from the Muslims in your workplace and classroom. Muslims are not a monolith. Some will be fasting and may need accommodation; others may not be fasting but still observe and honor the month in meaningful ways.
