US Muslims in Michigan, East Lansing gather to share experiences

East Lansing communities came together and were given the opportunity to share their experiences

 

Muslims from Michigan State University (MSU) and East Lansing communities came together and were given the opportunity to share their experiences, both positive and negative, in an event sponsored by the Committee on Diversity of MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine called “Visions for the Future: Stories from your Muslim Neighbors,” on Tuesday.

International speakers from various countries including the UAE and Pakistan were present.

The panelists answered a list of prepared questions from the event’s moderator and then answered the audience’s questions.

“America isn’t a melting pot, it’s a salad,” second year human medicine graduate student Edlibi said. “We’re all separate but we come together to make something great.”
