Interfaith Floor

The Interfaith Living Learning Community is an intentional community that provides residents the opportunity to investigate their personal worldview identity while exploring the religious, secular, and spiritual sources of their neighbors' worldviews.

About the Community

The Interfaith Living Learning Community is an intentional community that provides residents the opportunity to investigate their personal worldview identity while exploring the religious, secular, and spiritual sources of their neighbors' worldviews.

  1. Residents will articulate their personal worldview journeys and the interfaith heroes of their traditions.
  2. Residents will build deep and lasting relationships with floormates.
  3. Residents will offer interfaith programming and service opportunities for the wider Dartmouth community.

Residency Expectations

Members of the community are expected to make a commitment to living together in a diverse interfaith community. Expectations of residency include:

  • A commitment to the creation of a safe living space to explore and discuss pertinent topics of faith, religious diversity, and spiritual life.
  • Required attendance at the weekly meetings throughout the term.
  • Strategize, plan, and implement the interfaith engagement events once per term

Application Prompts

  1. Tell us about a time when you had a conversation with someone who had a different worldview (religious, spiritual, philosophical, or ethical identity) other than your own. What did you learn from the conversation? What do you think they learned from you? 
  2. Why are you personally committed to growing interfaith engagement at Dartmouth?
  3. How do you anticipate living in an interfaith space will impact your first-year experience at Dartmouth; and what would a successful experience look like at the end of the year for you?
