Good morning Beloved Friends,

It is during this time of the year that certain faith traditions observe their Holy Days.  In line with the University's Core Purpose and Core Values, you are encouraged to respect and honor the practices of these traditions.

Recently, the month of Radaman,  was observed by our Muslim friends.

April 2-5 is considered Holy Week by our Christian friends, as they observe Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter.

April 2-9 is Passover, observed by our Jewish friends.

I invite us all to pray for Peace in our individual lives and in our world at large.

Courage for Justice and Peace,

Ron Swain, University Chaplain
