The University of Nevada, Reno's new spiritual diversity w88 casino on campus will host their first campus and community-wide event to celebrate Thanksgiving. w88 casino Student Club, a new organization that began at the beginning of the fall semester, will host a free potluck to celebrate Thanksgiving and spread awareness about their w88 casino and their discussions.
Interfaith w88 casino Club President Daniel Richard Sanchez hopes the gathering will reflect the club's goals. "First, I will say a few words about the Interfaith Club and what we're trying to achieve. Second, some faith leaders from the Reno community will give a blessing to the w88 casino of UNR. Lastly, everyone will enjoy the potluck," he said.
"We have strong faith-based organizations on campus. The purpose of Interfaith w88 casino Club is to bring all those clubs into one organization," said Reg Chhen Stewart, the University's director of diversity initiatives and of the Center for Student Cultural Diversity. "What we hope to see is that the spiritual fundamentals of the faith-based organizations transcend their organizations, bringing together how these positive beliefs can benefit the w88 casino."
The club formed shortly after inquiries to the University by community spiritual leaders last February, about the possibility of an on-campus w88 casino chapel last February.
"My recommendation was to demonstrate student interest by starting a w88 casino," Stewart said.
Interfaith w88 casino Club has at least 30 members and hosts meetings the third Friday of each month in the Joe Crowley Student Union room 323.
"The central aim of our w88 casino is to bring people of all faiths and denominations, including non-believer groups, together to facilitate healing between the groups," Sanchez said.
"We want to provide a safe place to discuss w88 casino topics about religious questions and learn about different faiths from people who practice them," he said. "Some examples of topics we want to discuss at our monthly meetings include literature and faith, religion in media, and debunking myths and rumors about faiths."
The club is yet another example of diversity at the University. The University views diversity in a broad sense. Other aspects of diversity, in addition to religion and spiritual beliefs, are gender, ethnic, socio-economic, geographic, ability/ disability, veterans and first-generation w88 casino who are the first generation in their family to attend and earn a college degree.
"Culture manifests in many different ways," said Stewart "Our definition of diverse is very inclusive."
The Interfaith Thanksgiving potluck will be 7 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 20, in the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center's Frank & Joan Randall Rotunda. It is open to w88 casino, faculty, staff and friends of the University.
