The Islamic Center at NYU serves the Muslim population at New York University, a private institution of higher education and research located in lower Manhattan, and falls within the Division of Student Affairs. Unlike most university-based Muslim organizations that are student run, the Islamic Center at NYU is overseen by the Office of the Muslim Chaplain and its volunteer staff and shares in NYU's 501(c)(3) tax-exemption/non-profit status. Inspired by the idea that America’s Muslim community will best develop in a supportive environment, the Islamic Center has not only seen tremendous increase in membership but has motivated its constituents to find new ways of harnessing their resources and expanding their relationships with the wider community. Today’s Islamic Center caters to a wide and growing audience, reaching not only Muslims in New York City but also individuals from other communities. The Islamic Center at NYU is dedicated to fostering a sense of awareness, activism and scholarship amongst the Muslim community both on and off campus. _____________________________________ We are a dynamic, resourceful and innovative organization. We realize the need for a fair picture of Islam and the Islamic world during these times. We understand, because we have ourselves experienced the many ways through which young Muslims have been exposed to their faith, and the different ideas, aspirations and attitudes they bring with them to New York University. Some Muslim students come to college with a deep connection to their faith. Many more arrive with little education in their religion and fragile connections to their community. We recognize this diversity, and are a product of it. We believe in an Islamic Center with multiple points of entry – an institution which provides a full spectrum of resources uniting a spectacularly talented and immensely diverse student community. We hope to provide a safe place for Muslims to learn, to pray, to communicate, to build bonds and to share their faith with the wider community. Our vision at the Islamic Center is to provide a space for a pluralistic future on and off campus for American Muslims. We hope that the Islamic Center at NYU will become a spiritual and intellectual crossroads of Islam and America, creating a deep and diverse community of ambitions and resources. Join us for dinner, a presentation, and a panel on how you can get involved in helping to build the first fully established University Center for Muslim Life in the United State.
