Who We Are
Who We Are
ISNU is an organization that strives to build bonds with Muslim-identifying students across campus through weekly programming and various university-wide events. Our most popular event is our annual Fall Dinner where students and community members dress in their best gowns and come together to enjoy a catered dinner, keynote speaker, along with performance(s). Our regular weekly programming usually takes place on Monday evenings, including snacks and/or dinner. On these occasions, we offer community building exercises, religious programming, and thought-provoking discussions. We also host various sisters only and brothers only halaqas throughout the week which includes thought-provoking religious discussions. We also celebrate Ramadan and Eid-ul-Fitr by hosting weekly community iftars and an Eid Banquet. Check out the bottom section and the rest of our website for additional programming.
ISNU actively provides essential Islamic services and resources fostering spiritual development, planning social functions, investing time and energy in community service, participating in interfaith dialogue and partnerships, and creating a forum for healthy intellectual discourse. We also have various spiritual advisors available to help students with any concerns. Find out more about them here.
Though we are focused on Muslim students, our doors are open to all backgrounds. Reach out to us anytime - we are happy to help!

Charity Week
Charity Week
Charity Week is one of ISNU's most impactful initiatives, raising funds for Islamic Relief to support orphans and Muslims in need worldwide. A highlight is our Krispy Kreme fundraiser, where we sell Krispy Kreme donuts, and all proceeds go to this cause. In 2023, Charity Week focused on aiding those affected by earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria and the ongoing crises in Palestine, demonstrating the incredible impact of unity. This week includes creative and fun events to bring people together for a great cause, including events like game nights, "pie the e-board", tabling in Curry Crossroads, soccer games, and our successful Charity Week Fair we held in 2023 which helped raise over $8,000 at ISNU in 2023.
