So its been announced today that Tech is looking into building an all faiths chapel on the campus. It looks like it will all be financed privately. How do y'all feel abou this?

i really don't know much about the specifics about Tech's interfaith center, but campuses that establish these and run them as fairly as possible usually have a lot of success with them. I've worked at two schools where they were able to do a lot of philanthropic endeavors through it, had a great and fun place for students to interact, and actually sparked a lot of positive dialogs concerning the middle east (which seems to always be the topic of discussion).
i support them, and in my opinion is also something that could really support the international student population if we do it correctly. |
