DREXEL UNIVERSITY INTERFAITH COUNCIL
In the midst of a highly technological University, the Drexel University Interfaith Council (DUIC) is essential to support the students, faculty and staff of Drexel University in the expression, understanding and practice of faith; and to cultivate mutual respect for the variety of faith traditions represented by the members of the Drexel University academic community.

In doing so, the DUIC contributes to the overall quality of campus life and serve all the members of the Drexel University academic community as an interfaith religious presence. This is accomplished by working together to provide:

• Spiritual and emotional support;
• Pastoral counseling and personal guidance;
• Advocacy for appropriate expression and practice of faith, particularly in the context of interfaith dialogue and cooperation;
• Informal programs of religious education and relationship-building among Drexel University students, faculty, and staff members of the various religious traditions;
• Religious and interfaith prayer services and opportunities for public expression of the various religious traditions;
• Development and promotion of opportunities for the members of the Drexel University academic community to engage in campus-related as well as off-campus programs, events, and movements for peace, justice, and equality;
• Assistance and advocacy for the formation of student religious groups, especially among those groups presently under-represented among the Drexel University academic community;
• Resources for the Drexel University academic community to encourage connection with religious communities outside the campus environment as necessary;
• Succinct and coherent expression of the needs, ideas, values, and opinions of the religious community within the Drexel University academic community to the Drexel University administration;
• Promotion and/or advocacy of religious life at Drexel University within the larger religious community;
• Support for the University mission.
