Our janitorial team deserves immense recognition and gratitude for all they do, tirelessly working day and night to ensure our spaces are clean, safe, and inviting. Their dedication often goes unseen, yet it’s their hard work that allows the rest of us to function smoothly. From the early hours of the morning to late into the night, they are the silent heroes, diligently mopping floors, emptying trash bins, sanitizing surfaces, and so much more! Their behind-the-scenes efforts create an environment where we can all thrive. Let’s take a moment to appreciate and thank our A&A janitorial team for the vital role they play in our daily lives.

Ramadan, one of the holiest months of the year for Muslims, is expected to begin at sundown on Monday, March 11 (based on the official sighting of the moon) and conclude on April 9. Ramadan Mubarak (pronounced “Mu-ba-rack”) is a greeting that means congratulations on the arrival of the holy month. Ramadan Kareem can also be used as a greeting and literally means “Generous Ramadan.”

We in the Office of Spiritual Life wish all of our Lewis & Clark Muslim community Ramadan Mubarak this week as Muslims enter this month of devotion and fasting.
