Muslim support groups

<p>Hello/Asalamu,
I was wanting to know if UVA-Wise (could not find the board for it) has a support group of any kind for us Muslims. I know there are many for Christians, and other faiths. So I was not sure.</p>

<p>I will be transferring there from VHCC in the Fall of this year. Considering Ramadan is starting on the 1st of August, I want to meet with others who are celebrating it. </p>

<p>I would gladly appreciate it if you can help me. Thank you</p>

<p>I don’t know if it has a CC board, but is there a student groups page on their website? Try searching online (though I would not search the term “support,” as it makes it sound like being Muslim is some sort of affliction. try “muslim student association”, even my small community college campus had one!)</p>

<p>I don’t think many students on this board will know any more than you, as UVA-Wise is a completely separate school.</p>

<p>I just did a quick google search - [Multi-Cultural</a> Affairs | The University of Virginia’s College at Wise](<a href=“http://www.uvawise.edu/studentdev/multiculturalaffairs]Multi-Cultural”>http://www.uvawise.edu/studentdev/multiculturalaffairs)</p>

<p>There is an MCA you may be interested in, though it isn’t targeted specifically toward Muslim students. I don’t see a list of student activities, but there is a contact number for the department on their website: [Events</a> & Activities | The University of Virginia’s College at Wise](<a href=“http://www.uvawise.edu/studentactivities/events-activities]Events”>http://www.uvawise.edu/studentactivities/events-activities)</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you, I looked at what they have. Only things like the church of all faiths, etc. I did come across this page you sent me. But wanted to see what everyone on here thinks. I will email her in a few moments. :)</p>
