2024 Islamic Cultural Celebration
April 1 – April 5, 2024
As Muslim Americans, we live very different lives than our fellow non-Muslim brothers and sisters. These differences feel the most difficult when we are misunderstood. Although practicing Islam in the West brings its fair share of difficulties, we are proud to represent this religion and culture. As we approach the holy month of Ramadan we ask you to join the Muslim Student Association and the James Farmer Multicultural Center as we celebrate and acknowledge our fellow Muslim Americans.

Monday, April 1 | 12:00 Noon | Front of Lee Hall

Friday Jummah Prayer
Friday, April 5 | 1:00 pm 2:00 pm | Chandler Ballroom C, Cedric Rucker University Center
