In November, the Center for Interfaith Dialogue staff and interfaith fellows hosted an Open House to welcome students, faculty, staff, and campus faith leaders to our new space in 315 Pyle Center. We heard from the Dean of Students Christina Olstad, as well as the Center’s director, Dr. Ulrich Rosenhagen, about the mission of the new Center as part of Student Affairs. The Center is student-facing, dedicated to promoting religious identity, dialogue, and understanding at UW-Madison.
“An amazing event. I was blown away by the many students, staff, faculty and campus religious leaders joining us for the Open House welcoming the new center,” Ulrich Rosenhagen, the director of the Center for Interfaith Dialogue shares. “That’s a great foundation to build upon.”
See some highlights from the event.
