Anais Padilla ‘23
Psychology major
"In the end, I concluded I am happier being more spiritual than religious. Being the Interfaith Council President taught me to see the beauty in all religions and in interfaith dialogue. I now believe that there is one God, and all religions worship that God in their own unique ways.”
