2021 Interfaith Conference - Building a Multi-Faith Campus Community View Other Sessions

Join us for an interactive discussion and relationship building context for growing multiracial and multi-faith activism on campus. Students will share and connect with each other around lived experiences, share stories of racial equity struggles and victories from within particular faith traditions and spiritual communities, and more. 

Join us for discussion and honest dialogue regarding our growing need to advance justice across interracial, intercultural and interfaith differences on college campuses. Explore tools for navigating multiple and emerging political and cultural differences and explore strategies for working together and apart toward common goals of greater equity and justice for all. Led by Yavilah McCoy, CEO of DIMENSIONS Inc.

In these challenging days and times, where harmful patterns and practices around race and racism are increasing the need for action and dialogue among students across the country, how can students and campus leaders support the awareness, skill building and practice needed to develop and maintain meaningful allied relationships? What tools can faith communities utilize in engaging in dialogue across multiple and emerging political and cultural differences? How can experiences within our faith community better prepare us to model racial equity and inclusion for utilization in broader environments? Join Yavilah McCoy for an interactive exploration of contemporary wisdom and current best practices for navigating multi-faith, multiracial and multicultural differences in 2021, in service of justice.

In collaboration with the Program on Intergroup Relations (IGR), join us as we explore Religious, Spiritual, Secular (RSS) identity in context of the United States and the University of Michigan's campus. Students will get the opportunity to share perspective and learn from others while increasing their awareness of issues of identity, diversity, and intergroup relations.
