In this episode, Miriam Miller speaks with Khalid Latif about his religious journey, his development into a servant-leader, and how his role as NYU’s Islamic Chaplain inspired his philanthropic work.
Imam Khalid Latif is the University Chaplain for New York University and Executive Director of the Islamic Center at NYU. He was appointed the first Muslim chaplain at NYU in 2005 and the first Muslim chaplain at Princeton University in 2006. After his return to NYU in 2007, the Islamic Center at NYU became the first ever established Muslim student center at an institution of higher education in the United States.
