Celebration and Awareness Days
View Excelsior’s Full Calendar of Awareness Days
We are honored to recognize and celebrate the histories and contributions of all our diverse communities. We commemorate history months and identity acknowledgments throughout the year. We recognize this as an opportunity for all members of our community to learn more about the traditions, people, scholarship, history, and current experiences of those who’ve overcome oppression to create opportunities for all.
