"Rosh Hashanah is a time of renewal... Yom Kippur is a time of atonement and apologies to start the year off right."
- Lizzie Gurwitz, Class of 2025
A Place Where You are Connected
The Interfaith Center (IFC) has five chaplains and offers vibrant opportunities for spiritual practice, reflection, education and community building. We support faith and interfaith student groups by hosting dynamic events, inspiring religious services and serene spaces for meditation.
The IFC also provides impactful service opportunities and fosters group dialog to enhance personal growth, academic excellence and leadership development. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate in open faith events, both within and outside of their own faith traditions.
