What do Tu B’shvat, Magha Puja, and Naw-Ruz have in common?  They are all upcoming events in IU East’s Interfaith Initiative that is part of President Obama’s Campus Challenge to build understanding among diverse communities. These celebrations highlight some traditions in the Jewish, Buddhist, and Baha’I faiths.

The IU East Campus Library, like libraries throughout the world, is committed to proactively providing diverse resources and supporting programs that inform and enlighten participants about various faiths and cultures.  We have gathered some resources in this library guide: http://iue.libguides.com/interfaith to highlight specific interfaith celebrations. We also feature multicultural and diversity resources in these guides:
