Tufts University celebrates and acknowledges the religious and philosophical diversity of its faculty, staff, and students. The multifaith calendar has been updated and expanded by the University Chaplaincy in collaboration with the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO). It is provided for education and reference and includes dates, names, and descriptions of religious holy days. Because there are times when the academic calendar conflicts with holy days, faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to refer to this multifaith calendar when scheduling campus events. Please note this calendar is not exhaustive, and we welcome feedback for inclusion of additional days at chaplaincy@tufts.edu.
