On Tuesday, March 25, 2024 the Ansari Institute for Global Engagement with Religion hosted a screening and panel discussion of the recently released independent film "Three Chaplains." The film explores the experience of three Muslim Chaplains within the US Army who are tasked with caring for any and all members of their unit, even while they sometimes face questions of loyalty from both inside and outside the military.

Religious literacy and cultural awareness are important skills. It’s helpful to know about the traditions and celebrations that are important to students and colleagues so you can provide accommodations and support diversity, equity, and inclusion.

With that in mind, the Ansari Institute maintains this calendar of global religious observances. We want it to be a helpful resource for your university or workplace. Please use it as a resource to build awareness and promote inclusion and representation.
