In addition to the observed University holidays above, faculty and staff are encouraged to consult the Office for Equity and Diversity's Calendar of Holidays and Religious Observances before scheduling events or exams. This list is not exhaustive and observances are not necessarily days when individuals will not attend work, but it is encouraged to be flexible with colleagues who may need to shift their workload or schedules, or require accommodations.
