Dr. Conroy to participate in seminar on teaching interfaith understanding
Associate Professor of Religion Dr. Melissa Conroy has been selected from a competitive, national pool of nominees to participate in a faculty seminar on the teaching of interfaith understanding, Muskingum University announced today. The seminar is hosted by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) and Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC), with support from the Henry Luce Foundation.
A total of 25 faculty members, including Dr. Conroy, will participate in the five-day “Teaching Interfaith Understanding” seminar June 18-22, at DePaul University in Chicago. The program aims to broaden faculty members’ knowledge and strengthen their teaching of interfaith understanding, with the development of new courses and resources.
“I’m proud to have been chosen to represent Muskingum University at the CIC’s seminar next month,” Dr. Conroy said. “Now more than ever, Americans need to understand religious diversity and the benefit of understanding each other’s differences.”
