Interfaith Leadership for the 21st Century Workplace Participants – Fall 2021 (Archive UL)

Interfaith Leadership for the 21st Century Workplace

“People from different religions are distinct in ways that affect workplaces all the time. By workplaces I mean hospitals, I mean fashion companies, I mean food service, I mean schools… How does religious diversity affect how you’re going to do your job?”

– Eboo Patel, Facilitator for the Interfaith Leadership seminar and Founder and President of Interfaith Youth Core

In the fall of 2021, select St. Olaf students participated in a seminar focused on the importance of recognizing and navigating religious diversity in the workplace and on building interfaith knowledge and skills.

By completing this seminar, these participants will enter the workforce better prepared to work with and serve people across multiple faiths.

Over the course of two sessions, participants of the Fall 2021 Interfaith Leadership for the 21st Century Workplace Seminar explored the following interfaith competencies and how they relate to the workplace:

1. Building a knowledge base/radar screen around issues of religious diversity;

2. Creating opportunities to bring together people who orient around religion differently

Interfaith Leadership Seminar Participants:

The participants listed above fulfilled all the requirements of this seminar by attending both sessions and completing an Interfaith Skills and Knowledge Pre- and Post-Assessment.
