CAMPUS INCLUSION & COMMUNITY

Ramadan Meals: February 17-March 20, 2026

Any student observing Ramadan without a meal plan can participate in the Ramadan Meal Plan on the Evanston Campus. To participate, please fill out this form by February 9.

Details about meal options, locations, and hours of operation can be found on the dining website. Please email Northwestern Dining with any questions. 

The Ramadan Meal Plan will include two meals per day on your Wildcard, plus the ability to check out OZZI reusable takeaway containers. You will be asked to tap your Wildcard each time you redeem a meal or take out an OZZI. You will need to return your containers to the cashier station for a new one.

The Wildcat Iftar Banquet is the largest iftar held on campus and is open to all members of the Northwestern community. It will be held Saturday, February 28, 2026 in the Norris Louis Room beginning at 5 p.m.

Pre-registration required. 

During Ramadan, we will occasionally host smaller catered iftars. Two have been finalized for Monday, Feb 23, 2026 and Saturday March 7, 2026 in Parkes 122 beginning at 5 p.m. Pre-registration is not required.

We will update the site as other organizations and alumni propose their own iftars.

Taraweeh Prayers will be established every day from 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. in Parkes 122. In addition, Parkes 120 and 122 will be open to students for further prayers and communal activities.

In the event that Parkes is unavailable, we will likely pray in the Norris Louis Room, although this is tentative.
