The Center for Interfaith Dialogue is dedicated to fostering interfaith understanding, religious pluralism, and dialogue across differences, all in alignment with the Wisconsin Idea’s mission to extend the university’s knowledge and resources to benefit the broader community. By supporting students in exploring their religious identities and enhancing their dialogue skills, the Center strives to create a campus environment that embodies respect and understanding among diverse religious communities, reflecting the university’s core values of inclusivity and engagement.
At the core of the Center’s mission is the Interfaith Fellows Program, a vital initiative designed to develop informed and empathetic leaders who can navigate the complexities of religious diversity. Through comprehensive training and immersive experiences, undergraduate students gain a deeper understanding of global religious traditions and improve their ability to communicate across cultural and religious divides. By equipping these fellows with the tools needed for meaningful interfaith dialogue, the Center enriches their educational journeys and prepares them to become ambassadors of interfaith understanding and cooperation in their future lives and careers.
Your generous support of the Center for Interfaith Dialogue enables students to become global citizens who can promote dialogue and collaboration in an increasingly diverse world. By investing in the Center’s efforts, you uphold the values at the heart of the Wisconsin Idea, advancing interfaith cooperation and fostering a more inclusive campus community.
Gifts made in support of the Center for Interfaith Dialogue will be contributed to the Center for Interfaith Dialogue Fund at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
