With the holiday season quickly approaching, and as we begin to celebrate a time of togetherness and tradition, we encourage you to consider the diversity of the world we live and work in. It is important to remember that everyone may not celebrate the same traditions, there is a wide range of ways people celebrate the holiday season if they celebrate them at all. Fostering an environment of inclusivity and belonging for all helps avoid giving the impression that one or some holidays take precedence over others. Creating awareness and encouraging others to learn more about underrepresented traditions and other cultural celebrations is an excellent way to acknowledge and honor cultures or traditions many may not be familiar with.
Below you will find a list of upcoming observances and a resource to help keep track of the various holidays and observances with links to learn more about how each is celebrated and the significance or importance of the celebration.
