Islam is frequently talked about in the media, but continues to be a mystery to most people. What is the Muslim concept of God? The afterlife? Who was prophet Muhammad? What do Muslims say about Abraham, Moses, and Jesus? What are the core beliefs and practices of Islam?

This session offers an opportunity to see beyond common misconceptions and learn from Muslims about their fourteen-century old faith, professed by 2 billion people worldwide. It will also address Muslim students' practices and experiences on campus. A Q&A session is included.

This session is intended for first-timers only!

Sessions Timing (pick one):
Wednesday, January 7th, 2026 (11:30 am-1:00 pm) 
Thursday, January 8th, 2026 (1:00-2:30 pm) 

Sessions will be held over Zoom. A link will be shared closer to the time of the session.
