Interfaith calendar of activities
The interfaith calendar identifies times of significant spiritual events and celebrations. By highlighting awareness of these dates, it can assist university staff and students to acknowledge the multicultural nature of AUT’s community, and to plan and manage times when religious observance may make participation in study and work demands at the University difficult for those that observe the dates.
