Muslim Chaplaincy
The Muslim Chaplaincy, led by the Muslim Chaplain, works closely with alumni, faculty, staff, and students to support the Muslim community at Emory through a progressive and pluralistic approach.
The Muslim Chaplain provides outreach and helps to organize the Muslim community, develops leadership groups, and collaboratively plans, develops, and implements high-quality spiritual life programs including weekly gatherings, holiday observances, retreats, service and social justice projects, and fellowship events.
The Muslim Chaplain is also available for pastoral care and leadership in invocations, memorial services, vigils, and other rituals as needed. The Muslim Chaplaincy works closely with other OSRL chaplains, staff, and students on interfaith initiatives and connects the campus with local, regional, and national opportunities and resources.
