Ramadan at UTA
Ramadan is the holiest month for Muslims and celebrated across the world every year. It is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, during which Muslims observe a month-long period of fasting and spiritual reflection from dawn to sunset. It is considered one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is a time for increased devotion, charity, and self-discipline.
The UTA library strongly believes in diversity and inclusion, and as a part of that, we are offering a place for our Muslim students to practice Islam in a safe space on campus.
We wish you a Happy Ramadan!
Happy Holi 2023!
Hope all you Mavericks had a wonderful Holi!
Holi is an ancient Hindu festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil and the arrival of spring. According to legend, it marks the triumph of Lord Vishnu over a demon king who tried to kill his son for not worshipping him.
Let's celebrate this joyous festival by spreading love, happiness, and colors all around!
