Multifaith Scholars

The Multifaith Scholars program is a two-year, closely mentored, experientially rich, and academically rigorous educational opportunity at Elon University.

Opportunities to learn and connect continued downstairs, where we enjoyed the opportunity to partake in langar, the communal meal that is one hallmark of the Sikh ethic of service. #Elon #MultifaithScholars #engagedlearning @elon_cas

Grateful as always to have @elonuniversity Multifaith Scholars join the community at the Sikh Gurudwara of North Carolina for services on Sunday. Kulpreet Singh P’23 generously explained guiding principles and traditions to our students. #Elon #engagedlearning

Waffles & conversation with the @elonuniversity Multifaith Scholars—we have projects on Islam in Iraq, the 8th c. Hindu poet-saint Andal, Polish religious nationalism, Christian settler colonial dynamics & the religious elements of festival culture underway in the new cohort!🧇🍓

We are looking forward to Thursday's lecture-demonstration event featuring the fruits of senior #MultifaithScholar Emily Wilbourne's (@emilypwilbourne) two-year, interdisciplinary undergraduate research project on the ​Seungmu dance form in South Korea. @ElonGlobal @CRGE_Elon

(With specific shout-outs to @TruittCenter, @ElonReligion, and @ElonMFS, as programs that the university built and supported as expressions of those commitments)

We in the Multifaith Scholats program are grateful for their leadership and the ongoing institutional commitment here @elonuniversity that makes this work possible and leads to transformative student learning around religious diversity in global contexts, local and international.

Crediting Richard McBride as a “clarion voice” who called the campus to interreligious understanding in the wake of 9/11, @LeoMLambert traces @elonuniversity ‘s commitments to religious literacy and multifaith learning to the chaplain’s influence in those critical days.

Special Saturday brunch with the #Elon20 Multifaith Scholars who are back for @elonuniversity Commencement this weekend—loved hearing about their grad school programs in security studies, public relations & religion and just catching up with these remarkable humans. ♥️

Curious about some of our emergent findings for the @ACEducation Learner Success Lab? Developmental mentoring relationships matter! @CEL_Elon @CRGE_Elon @elonuniversity @UR_at_Elon

[Multifaith Scholars @ElonMFS]

Wonderful to gather with the @elonuniversity Multifaith Scholars cohort for dinner & discussion on the porch this evening—nothing beats in-person exchange with these curious and talented students!

[Multifaith Scholars @ElonMFS]

The Morning Shift is back! Co-working/coffee Zooms with these @elonuniversity @ElonRelS alums was a daily 7am commitment last academic year, when one relocated to Montana to start law school and the other moved to Atlanta for grad school, all fully online. Happy FDOC!

[Multifaith Scholars @ElonMFS]

Monthly dinners looked a little different for the @elonuniversity Multifaith Scholars during the pandemic, but these students (and our puppy mascot, Chester) continued to invest in their cohort and give their all to their research. Incredibly proud to mentor them!

SJ began Swahili training as one component of her 2+ years of #undergraduateresearch focused on resettled African refugees in North Carolina and continued it during a semester abroad in Tanzania. After CLS, SJ will work w/ Baltimore's Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service. 🌟
