Resources for Sukkot
In support of our patients, faculty, employees, students, and community members we would like to share the following resources for awareness, care, and guidance around accommodations to consider when hosting gatherings and/or meetings where food is provided during upcoming observances. We will be elevating the observances of various faith groups throughout the 2025-26 academic year, as part of a broader effort to elevate understanding and recognition of religious, faith-based, and spiritual identity.
From the Multicultural Calendar
For a list of the upcoming religious and cultural observances, please visit our Multicultural Calendar, which serves as a valuable resource to foster understanding, accommodation, and respect for religious and cultural observances. It helps students, staff, and faculty plan events, activities, meetings, retreats, and courses throughout the year.
If you have updates, corrections, or suggestions for the calendar, please contact us at excellence@ucdavis.edu. All submissions will be carefully reviewed for inclusion.
