Ramadan begins tonight! Please help to create inclusive spaces by remembering that your students may be fasting and praying during late/early hours for the month. Offer understanding and create space, but please do not assume or ask anyone to disclose their own religious observance and beliefs. [ID:dark blue-grey background with stylized hanging lanterns (fanous) in pink. Text reads: Ramadan 2022 April 2 - May 2 Practicing students and colleagues are likely to be fasting from dawn to dusk—this often means no food and no water. They may also be praying past midnight and rising early to eat and pray. ]
