While snacking on hot cross buns, rice pudding, and challah earlier this month, over 70 students gathered around an arch of colorful poster boards carefully arranged at the back of Lowell dining hall. Each tasty sample of holiday food was accompanied by a conversation about the traditions of one of the many religions represented on campus.

The Harvard College Interfaith Council organized this culinary evening as the Kickoff Festival for its celebration of the first-ever National Interfaith Awareness Week during mid-April. By collaborating with 12 religious groups and the Harvard Secular Society, the Council works to foster interfaith dialogue among the more than 20 faith-based organizations on campus.
