Baruch Connects Continues: Join Us for Interfaith Dialogue and Understanding

Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,

As part of the Baruch Connects initiative, I am pleased to invite you to the final event in this year’s Respectable Dialogue Series. This third installment, Embracing Pluralism: Building Bridges Across Differences, will focus on interfaith dialogue and understanding, underscoring the importance of building bridges across religious and cultural differences and fostering inclusive, respectful dialogue.

Facilitated by two senior leaders from Interfaith America, this interactive session will explore how college campuses can cultivate a culture of pluralism—the ways in which we recognize and value different perspectives. Our facilitators will share their experiences as bridge-builders, demonstrating the power of empathy, respect, and dialogue in fostering inclusive communities.

Through personal stories and campus-based examples, they will explore the opportunities for students of diverse religious, spiritual, and secular identities to engage constructively with one another. This conversation will also highlight the unique role of college campuses as dynamic spaces for learning, connection, and mutual understanding, inspiring a spirit of cooperation and shared purpose in an increasingly diverse world.
