On 17 February 2026, we enter the Year of the Fire Horse, a cycle that appears only once every 60 years, last seen in 1966.

The Fire Horse has long been associated with unstoppable momentum, bold transformation, and catalytic change. It does not wait for permission; it moves forward with purpose.

This year is not for hesitation; it is for progress.

DPPS printed Chinese calendars for University Staff shared governance commemorating the Year of the Horse — you can download a PDF of that file below.
