More speaker bios and details coming soon!
The Ivy League is a consortium of universities that share unique social, intellectual and professional opportunities and challenges. 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.
We invite students from the Ivies and beyond! This year we are back in person at the amazing St. Thomas More Catholic Centre at Yale.
First preference will be given to Yale students.
