==== Interfaith Month 2010 ====
The focus of this Month was the afterlife. IF brought in a variety of speakers to inform the campus about their views on the after life. The entire Month was described as, ": Coming together on a subject that is usually of contention (beliefs about spirituality), Interfaith Month seeks to strike a chord of agreement and understanding. Starting Febuary 18, our speakers will share their views on the afterlife. The long message contains the schedule, including an Interfaith dinner."
