MUSLIM

The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) is the 5th most diverse campus in the nation, and maintains the largest Muslim population of any university in the city of Chicago. In a school with nearly 30,000 students, 15% identify themselves as Muslim - that means about 4,500 Muslims on campus. UIC's weekly Friday prayers host nearly 500 Muslims, and UIC's Islam Awareness week had nearly 700 attendees Masha'Allah... A Muslim chaplain is a certified individual (male or female) who has training in both the Islamic sciences and in counseling individuals from the youth and adult demographics. The chaplain would have the potential to do everything from counseling students through personal struggles, emotional/psychological crises, and struggles with their practice of Islam; leading prayers on campus; being an adult mentor for the Muslim.
