In this brief episode, we want to share some of the holidays and observances in March, including celebrating women's identities in Women's HERstory Month. The Jewish celebration of survival, Purim, is also this month, as well as the Hindu festival starting the month of Phalguna and celebrating spring and rejuvenation. Nowruz, meaning "New Day," is also aligned with the vernal equinox (start of spring) and is celebrated with family, food, and reflection. Finally, at the end of March comes the end of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, "the Festival of Breaking the Fast," which is observed by attending communal prayers and sermons, and giving zakat al-fitr.  Links to more information on each can be found in your podcast player - check your app for chapter markers, custom chapter art, and links.  Host: Dr. Rick Daniels, Director of Institutional Equity and Inclusion  Coordinator: Brenda Cruz, Coordinator of Institutional Equity an Inclusion Producer: Erick Rohn, Professor of Design
