Faith adds to college years
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on religious identity and campus faith communities at Johns Hopkins.
- The News-Letter reported that a poll covering 2,915 of 4,055 students found more than 40 faith groups represented among undergraduates.
- The paper reported that the Interfaith Council, Campus Ministries and other groups organize services, programs and events about religious diversity.
- The article adds that sophomore Cara Merriman said, "I feel like there is no dominant religious presence on campus," while sophomore Carleigh Connelly described the student body as diverse but not highly religious.
- The reporter writes that students can participate through the Interfaith Center, Hillel, Hindu, Muslim and Catholic groups, religious music groups, and programs such as "Open Hands, Open Hearts."
