Interfaith
Interfaith learning at Davidson enables students, staff, and faculty to cultivate connections to particular faith traditions and to learn about the beliefs and practices of others.
Such learning is an important part of a liberal arts education in our pluralistic world. These experiences equip students with the skills and knowledge to practice informed, judicious interfaith leadership on campus and beyond.
Better Together
Through Better Together, students from many religious and philosophical traditions learn from each other through dinner discussions, lectures and celebrations of diverse holy days on campus. Better Together also collaborates with other student organizations to promote spiritual and religious diversity in a spirit of mutual understanding and respect.
Fall Break Trip
The Religious Diversity Immersion trip draws together students from many spiritual traditions and secular backgrounds for a dynamic experience in the heart Charlotte, NC. Participants visit diverse places of worship or meditation, reflect on their own perspectives, practices, and values, and discuss the intersections of religion, service, and pursuit of the common good.
