YEARLONG STUDENT COHORT ENGAGING IN DIALOGUE AND SERVICE
The Interfaith Scholars is a course and service learning opportunity offered by the Interfaith Institute at Augsburg in collaboration with the Religion Department. The course is taught by the Interfaith Institute’s Executive Director, Najeeba Syeed.
Interfaith Scholars are students who are interested in exploring the religious diversity of the Augsburg student body, the wider Twin Cities community, and the United States through interreligious dialogue and action. Students from a variety of traditions as well as the non-religious are invited to apply in order to converse respectfully with others about what they believe, why it matters, and how it propels us to service in the world. Once selected, the cohort has both academic and service requirements for an entire academic year.
BENEFITS
