The Office of University Life, in partnership with Columbia University Office of Religious Life, will host a discussion with faculty members across faith traditions on Thursday, May 27 at 4:00 p.m. ET. Faculty will share their experiences navigating religious identities in higher education, how we can better foster religious diversity on campus, and the value of interfaith friendship. We aim to provide a space for the Columbia community to learn and engage in a meaningful dialogue about religion and spirituality with an opportunity for interfaith connections.
