As the year draws to a close, December reminds us to slow down, take stock, and celebrate both progress and presence. It’s a month rich with meaning—World AIDS Day (Dec 1), International Day of Persons with Disabilities (Dec 3), Human Rights Day (Dec 10), Hanukkah (begins Dec 14), Winter Solstice (Dec 21), Christmas (Dec 25), and Kwanzaa (begins Dec 26)—each inviting us to honor light, resilience, and the power of community.
As we wrap up 2025, The Wishful Doing Hub stands tall in gratitude for you—our community of higher ed changemakers, nonprofit innovators, and equity-minded leaders who continue to turn vision into motion, and wishful thinking into Wishful Doing.
