SUMMARY:Ivy Muslim Conference 2022
DESCRIPTION:Location: St. Thomas More Center at Yale\, 268 Park Street\, New Haven\, CT 06511 \n\n\n\nCome celebrate community\, conversation and culture at this year’s Ivy Muslim Conference aka IMC! \n\n\n\nWe are excited to welcome Dr. Marwa Assar as our Keynote Speaker.

In the midst of contemporary American academic life\, Muslims at these institutions grapple with these opportunities and challenges\, as well as issues of identity and purpose – let alone the fallout from the long pandemic. Thus\, the Ivy Muslims Conference invites Muslims to explore\, interrogate and discuss these issues\, especially as they relate to their intellectual and spiritual lives\, by bringing together hundreds of Muslim students from across the Ivy League for a weekend of networking\, fellowship\, and unique conversations about the intellectual and spiritual opportunities as well as challenges of being Muslim today. \n\n\n\nWe invite students from the Ivies and beyond! This year we are back in person at the amazing St. Thomas More Catholic Centre at Yale. \n\n\n\nThe popular Coffeehouse Conversations and Changemaker Panel will be back as well! \n\n\n\nCheck out our website for schedule\, accommodation and parking details: https://ivymuslims.yale.edu/ \n\n\n\nQuestions can be directed to yalemsa@gmail.com or omer.bajwa@yale.edu. \n\n\n\nPayPal receipts will be issued by Dwight Hall at Yale.
