Multifaith Scholars

A celebration of refugee support and interfaith collaboration honors over 50 ESL students and a year of cross-cultural learning.

Through a two-year fellows program, the five students in this multidisciplinary cohort will undertake mentored undergraduate research projects, enroll in specialized coursework and engage in community-based learning with diverse religious communities.

This year's conference centered around the theme of “Transitions.” Student paper topics ranged from the comparison of Gen X and Gen Z views of religion to the evolution of sexual and Christian themes in vampire films.

The article by reporter Yonat Shimron focuses what the religious identify of Vice President Kamala Harris may say about the country's multi-faith makeup.

Nearly 50 students participated in the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience, a unique opportunity where the topics are diverse, along with the personal stories behind them.

Four members of the Class of 2024 and one member of the Class of 2023 have been selected for the prestigious program that offers opportunities for recent graduates in more than 140 countries. Five have been selected as alternates.

A new report has been published by the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) on Mentored Undergraduate Research in Global Contexts, or MUR-GC. The publication, co-edited by Maureen Vandermaas-Peeler, details the integration of the high-impact practices of mentoring, undergraduate research, and global and intercultural learning.
