Celebrate Diversity emails share events and resources related to recognition days, heritage months, and spiritual seasonal observances as a part of Emerson\u2019s commitment to celebrate all forms of diversity in our community. The content is crafted by staff partnering across the Social Justice Collaborative, Marketing & Communications, Campus Life, and Internationalization & Equity.<\/p>\n

Our first email of the 2024-2025 academic year notes many meaningful religious, spiritual and faith-based traditions that are observed and celebrated during the fall.<\/p>\n

Multifaith Observance Resources<\/h1>\n

We also remind you of the Multifaith Observance Google Calendar<\/a> that can be synced to your personal account. The Multifaith Observance Google Calendar displays information on important religious and spiritual dates, as well as restrictions to note when planning campus events, course deadlines, meetings, or programs. The detailed spreadsheet list of these dates is also available at Multifaith Holidays through Academic Year 2027<\/a>. This resource from the Center of Spiritual Life<\/a>, based on resources from Harvard Divinity School, provides vital information. Please remember that our Religious Observance Policy<\/a> exists so that holidays can be recognized wholly by members of our community.<\/p>\n
