Vanderbilt Interfaith Spring Break Trip
Vanderbilt Interfaith Spring Break Trip
February 28th – March 5th
The Office of the University Chaplain and Religious Life is partnering with the International Student and Scholar Services, and the Interfaith Council to plan Vanderbilt’s first interfaith spring break trip. The purpose of this trip will be to explore the meaning of faith between several religions through guided visits and explorations of religious sites and personal reflection. It is our goal that you walk away from this trip with a better understanding of religious faith (both your own and around the world) and a connection with different world religions.
The Vanderbilt Interfaith Spring Break will occur from Saturday, February 28, 2015 to Thursday, March 5, 2015. Accommodations will be provided by Hostelling International. We will be visiting several religious sites throughout the week, in addition to partaking in some cultural exploration around the nation’s capitol.
Costs:
Your payment will include room and board, ground transportation, all breakfast meals, three additional group meals, and access into the sites and tours. All other meals and personal shopping will be paid for by the individual student, outside of the trip cost.
The cost of the trip for each participant is $350. A deposit of $150 will be due by December 5, 2014 and the remaining $200 will be due by February 6, 2014.
Tour Sites:
We will be visiting several religious sites throughout the week; each representing a different religion. The list of sites include:
- Howard University
-
Washington National Cathedral
-
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
-
The Islamic Center of Washington D.C.
-
Ohev Sholom- The National Synagog
- Washington Buddhist Vihara
In addition, we will be touring a couple of national monuments and government buildings over the week. You will be given free time to explore Washington D.C. in small groups.
