Purpose

The Faith, Belief, and Religious Observances Subcommittee was born out of a question: How can CSU expand its knowledge and recognition of the diverse faith and belief communities on campus, particularly around the holidays? Over the course of 2017, this question grew into the current focus of the subcommittee: leading a university-wide effort to improve the faith and belief-based literacy of all university members through practical tools, education, and outreach. We believe that when all faculty, staff, and students feel that their faithand belief systems are respected and acknowledged, increased well-being and productivity result. The first project of the subcommittee, the Faith, Belief, and Religious Observances calendar, is both a tool for education and accommodation and scheduling purposes.
