In about two years, Elon University students will be able to take a larger part in religious life on campus.

Faculty and students are currently in the planning process for a multifaith center, which would accommodate all different religions as well as religious organizations on campus.

Vice President and Dean of Student Life Smith Jackson and music professor Todd Coleman are currently co-chairing the multifaith center and identity houses committee.

The committee was established by President Leo Lambert, who hoped to place an emphasis on increasing religious diversity, Coleman said. The committee consists of students and faculty who represent different religious affiliations
