Iftar Pot Luck June 18, Ramadan Notes for Students, Faculty

Ramadan 2018: May 15-June 14

To all of our Muslim students, staff and faculty at Webster University, we wish you a fulfilling and meaningful Ramadan season. We wanted to draw your attention to a few events and points of interest surrounding the celebration of Ramadan on the St. Louis campus.

There is also an extensive website with information about Ramadan and the Webster community here.

Evening Classes Reminder

A special note to professors with night classes: Ramadan 2018 began in the evening of May 15, and ends the evening of June 14. If you have students who are observing Ramadan, please consider the timing of your breaks during the evening classes. Students are able to break their fast at sundown, so allowing them to quietly step out to have a drink or bite to eat — or simply scheduling your break close to sundown — would be very helpful to them.
