UCI has been chosen this year as a partner campus in President Obama’s Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge. Current CHP student and recipient of the Dalai Lama Scholarship would like to announce the opportunity to get involved in this project! Click here for more information about the project! UCI is seeking students passionate about community service, interfaith engagement, social justice, and peace. The aim of the project, planned in coordination with the UCI Dalai Lama Scholars project, is to create an opportunity for interfaith engagement and learning on campus while directly addressing the problems of local poverty, hunger, and homelessness and raising awareness about the broader structural violence of extreme disparities in the global distribution of wealth.
We encourage students of all faiths, or even no faith, to contribute to the effort. To learn more about the interfaith movement at UCI and to begin assisting with the planned service projects, please attend either or both of the planning meetings this week and tell all of your friends! We look forward to seeing you at the meetings:
Oxfam Hunger Banquet
Tuesdays: 5-6 pm – Ring Room, Cross-Cultural Center
Hunger Fast & Day of Service
Wednesdays: 3-4 pm – Board Room, Cross-Cultural Center
