Why Interfaith Work Matters After Graduation

Meet Usra Ghazi and Kevin Singer, IFYC Alum. These good friends and IFYC Alum have continued to practice and cultivate their interfaith leadership, even putting interfaith cooperation near the center of their respective “callings.” Additionally, this piece highlights the unique benefits of belonging to the IFYC Alumni Network.

Kevin and Usra are both doing important and compelling work in their fields that involve interfaith engagement and religious diversity education, pioneering new ways to address religious differences and diversity. Usra attained a Masters from Harvard Divinity School and went on to work at the U.S. State Department. Kevin is a college faculty member and researcher focusing on religion and religious identity and seen as an up-and-coming figure in academic/educator circles, introducing new ideas and practices and starting important discussions around religious diversity and college. They each have also established their own independent organizations on top of their regular jobs, Neighborly Faith and America Indivisible.

Both Usra and Kevin are daily change-makers in diverse walks of American life, and this is our hope for all IFYC Alum as we engage with a reality where the skills of interfaith leadership are increasingly in demand.
