Ramadan is a special time of year for Muslims around the world. It is a time of fasting, prayer, and reflection on one’s faith and the teachings of Islam. It is also a time for community and connection, as people come together to break their fast each evening with an iftar meal. This year, our alumni community came together for an amazing evening of connection and celebration.
