A Gathering of Faith, Leadership, and Community for Muslim Students
Muslim Campus Life (MCL) was honored to attend, table, and present at the 2025 Ivy Muslim Conference (IMC), an annual gathering that brings together Muslim students from the Ivy League and beyond. First envisioned by Sr. Lisa Kinney-Bajwa and Imam Bajwa during their time at Cornell and expanded at Yale in 2008, the conference has grown into a signature space for Muslim students to explore faith, identity, and intellectual growth in a welcoming, spiritually uplifting environment.
Each year, IMC creates a rare opportunity for students to discuss the blessings and challenges of being Muslim in today’s world, connect with peers from across campuses, and build lasting bonds rooted in shared purpose and community.
What the Ivy Muslim Conference Offers
The conference continues to serve as a vital platform for:
1. Spiritual Reflection & Identity Building
2. Intellectual Exploration
3. Real Conversations & Community Support
4. Networking & Long-Term Connections
Muslim Campus Life’s Presence at the 2025 IMC
At this year’s Ivy Muslim Conference, Muslim Campus Life launched the Muslim Student Experience Survey, a nationwide effort to better understand and evaluate the experiences of Muslim students in higher education. The insights gathered from this survey will help us identify student needs, assess available campus resources, and shape future programming and advocacy efforts to better support Muslim life on campus.
To encourage survey completion, we offered FREE professional headshots for attendees, providing high-quality photos they can use for LinkedIn, resumes, and other professional platforms. This effort reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting Muslim students both academically and professionally
The Ivy Muslim Conference continues to be a cherished space where identity, leadership, and spirituality intersect. We’re grateful for the opportunity to connect with so many inspiring students and to contribute to a conference that uplifts Muslim life on campus year after year.
We look forward to returning, collaborating, and continuing to support Muslim students across the country. Stay tuned for more updates, initiatives, and resources from Muslim Campus Life.
