Best Practices and Resources in Support of our Muslim Students and Colleagues During Ramadan
This
year, Ramadan began at sunset on Tuesday, February 17 and ends on the
evening of Thursday, March 19. The Office of Equity and Cultural Center
have prepared a series of best practices to support our Muslim students,
faculty, staff and administrators on campus. This special time is
marked by important contemplation and practices that may change the way
our campus community accesses food, water, rest and reflection. More information about the observation of Ramadan is included here. In particular, we share these best practices, resources and event(s) in support of our students and colleagues.
Red Cards & Undocumented Community Resources
Wallet-sized
“Red Cards” that explain how to safely assert your rights during
interactions with immigration enforcement are available for pickup at
the Undocumented Community Center. These cards are offered in multiple
languages, including Spanish, English, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Chinese,
Russian and Portuguese. These can also be printed from home here. Visit the District’s Undocumented Community Resources or stop by the Undocumented Community Center (Building 9, Room 118), open Monday – Thursday from 8 a.m.– 4:30 p.m.
