Celebrating Heritage and Identity

All students, staff, and faculty—regardless of race, ethnicity, color, sex, or national origin—are invited to participate in celebrating heritage and identity months, days, and weeks.

These observances provide intentional opportunities to honor and recognize the histories, cultures, and contributions of diverse communities, particularly those who have been historically marginalized. They are not only times for celebration, but also for education, reflection, and connection. By engaging in these celebrations, we deepen our understanding of our own identities and the experiences of others.

Below is a list of the heritage and identity observances recognized by the Office of Institutional Equity and Belonging. To suggest additional celebrations, please contact us at [email protected].
