Approximately 10 students gathered at events Wednesday to discuss a number of different religious sects as part of the Associated Students of Madison Diversity Week.
Religion Day featured presentations from the Baha’i Campus Association, His House Christian Fellowship and Sigma Alpha Omega Christian Sorority.
ASM Diversity Committee Chair Mia Akers said she was glad to provide an open and friendly space to discuss aspects of religion that aren’t normally explored. Akers also said she was impressed all groups expressed their views without pushing them on others and remained open to questions.
Despite the low attendance, Akers said she focused on “quality over quantity” and felt students who were present had a meaningful conversation.
“The goal of this week is not to have tons of people show up to the events,” Akers said. “It’s really about bringing awareness about diversity, whether that’s through tons of people or a few people.”
