The Interfaith Student Council is a collective of student leaders from different faith-based organizations. It also includes students without specific group affiliations. The council convenes to foster communal learning and to collaboratively plan projects that involve religious and spiritual groups. Additionally, it focuses on coordinating initiatives that span larger campus and community collaborations, along with educational initiatives.

Barefoot Dialogue is a vulnerability-based model of structured conversations, sustained over time, with peers who openly engage, seek meaning over agreement, and enhance their capacity to thrive through relationship across difference, in identity & experience. Groups meet every other week over the course of the semester over a homemade meal at Lewis House.
