About
The Better Together Interfaith Club at NC State is committed to ensuring that our campus is a welcoming and inclusive community for students of all religious, spiritual, and non-religious identities. To that end, we strive to assist in building bridges of interfaith cooperation whenever and wherever possible.
We remain active on campus is by hosting our own meetings and events, in addition to participating in University-sponsored events. Want to get involved or learn more? Reach out to us on our Contact page, or look for us at Campus Connections, Respect the Pack, Shack-A-Thon, among other events.
We are affiliated with a nationwide interfaith collegiate organization, Interfaith Youth Core. Their mission is to make interfaith cooperation a social norm in America. They offer many exciting opportunities for students interested in interfaith work, including Interfaith Leadership Institutes (ILI’s) and Regional Leadership Labs.
