Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha are deeply meaningful times for many of our Muslim students, shaping their daily rhythms, spiritual lives, and sense of community. This session offers foundational insight into the significance of these observances. It also invites participants to reflect on what thoughtful, culturally responsive support can look like in our classrooms, offices, and campus spaces. Through conversation and shared learning, we will explore practical ways to approach this season with awareness, flexibility, and care. Participants will leave with greater confidence in how to support Muslim students in ways that affirm belonging and honor their faith.
