The Interfaith Student Council is a collective of students who are interested in interfaith leadership. This includes students from different faith-based student organizations, students without specific group affiliations, and students who do not identify as religious or spiritual. You do not need to have any titles or be a member of an active student religious or spiritual organization to apply. The council convenes with the Director of ORSL to collaboratively plan programs and initiatives between existing religious and spiritual communities, along with programming and education for the larger campus-wide community.
