ramadan observance & services |
|
Ramadan is observed from April 12 – May 12. During this month, individuals fast from dawn until dusk and spend time in prayer and reflection. This year, Ramadan will overlap with the end of the Spring Semester and the first day of finals. To support students who are fasting, Stevens Dining offers many options for pick-up and delivery of meals to be consumed at a later time. Students may use their meal swipes and select as many meals as they would like to order at any time. Each station in Pierce Dining Hall is equipped with to-go containers. A quiet space for meditation, prayer and reflection will be available on the 1st floor of the Student Center for students, faculty and staff at the below times:
- Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 9 AM – 10 PM
- Wednesdays from 9 AM – 12 PM and 5 PM -10 PM
- Thursdays from 9 AM – 12:30 PM and 3:30 PM – 10 PM
