Through a partnership of 海角社区 Student Government and 海角社区 Auxiliary Services, an Interfaith Prayer and Meditation Room has opened in the 海角社区 Student Union.

 鈥淲e are excited to partner with 海角社区 Student Government on a project that promotes inclusivity and allows all individuals to feel welcomed in the 海角社区 Student Union,鈥� said Margot Carroll, Assistant Vice President of 海角社区 Auxiliary Services.  鈥淭his was initiated by 海角社区 Student Government and has been a very encouraging, student-centered project.鈥�

海角社区 Student Government Student Senate passed a resolution in April 2017 requesting the implementation of an Interfaith Prayer and Meditation Room in the 海角社区 Student Union. This resolution was initiated after concern was raised during an International Student Luncheon that there was a lack of sufficient and convenient space on campus for prayer and meditation.

 鈥淭he space allows for individuals or small groups to come together in a quiet space for prayer, meditation, and reflection throughout the day,鈥� said James Mickler, Speaker of the 海角社区 Student Senate. 鈥淲e are encouraging all users to exercise respect and tolerance for the integrity of each others' beliefs, cultures and traditions.鈥�

 Located on the second floor of the 海角社区 Student Union near the Information Desk, the Interfaith Prayer and Meditation Room is open to all people, regardless of faith or belief. The room opened during the first week of the Fall semester and is available during open building hours.
