Drew University to Host Eboo Patel

Rhodes Scholar and founder of the Interfaith Youth Core, Eboo Patel, will be speaking at the Shirley Sigerman Interfaith Forum at Drew University later this month.

The forum will take place on April 22, at 8 p.m., in the Concert Hall at the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts at Drew University. A book signing will take place following the forum.

Patel has served as a member of President Barack Obama’s Inaugural Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships and is the author of the best-selling “Acts of Faith.” He founded the Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC) in 2002 and “works to make interfaith activism the norm on college campuses,” Drew University said.

Patel graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and holds a doctorate in the sociology of religion from Oxford University.

Tickets to the forum are $10 and can be purchased through the Drew University box office.
