Inclusive of any individual’s religion, spirituality, or faith, the Interfaith Center supports wholistic development while navigating the complexity of living in a pluralistic world. It is a brave space where folks can safely engage in dialogue to build more meaning and connection across identities and beliefs.
The Interfaith Center is open to all UVM students, staff, faculty, and affiliates for reflection, spiritual practice, conversation, education, and community building.
The Interfaith Center is a unique and essential space at UVM, with three main areas of focus:
Holding space to celebrate and explore, faith, beliefs, and religious traditions.
In both the literal and figurative senses of the word, the Interfaith Center offers space to gather, to be brave and inquisitive, and to celebrate. Interfaith has a large gathering hall, smaller lounge space, and smaller spaces for individual practices.
Providing thought leadership in the landscape of the role of faith within our civilization.
Our pluralistic society has been and remains heavily influenced by religious traditions. The Interfaith Center aims to be at the forefront of the conversation around global events by inviting expert voices to our space to share their knowledge and lived experiences.
Bringing resources, support, and education around religion, faith, and spirituality to UVM.
Understanding practices and traditions different from our own is an important facet of creating a culture of belonging at UVM. We invite faculty, staff, and students to bring your questions or concerns to us so that you may learn how to honor the needs of others.
