SAIC provides students a forum where they can share their spiritual beliefs and traditions and learn about those of others through dialogue, education and awareness, service, and social programs.

It seems our campus community grows more diverse with every year, yet we are often hesitant to inquire about others' religious and cultural traditions, to ask how and why others are different from us.
At SAIC, we believe our differences are just as beautiful as our similarities. We believe in having respectful dialogue, expressing our curiosity, and building bridges across lines of faith and culture, allowing us to better understand and celebrate the rich diversity of our campus.
SAIC brings together students of diverse faith and cultural backgrounds and provides them with a welcoming space where they can gain a better understanding of others' beliefs, as well as their own. Through dialogue, worship observations, community service, and social events, SAIC allows students of faith and non-faith backgrounds to share their experiences with spirituality and religion. By promoting understanding of others, SAIC allows students to foster friendships in order to build a rich and accepting community.
