Religious Studies Club

Started in 2014 by religious studies alumna Gayle Eanes, the Religious Studies Club supports the academic inquiry of religion in the surrounding community of Jacksonville. Students have engaged in site visits in diverse places such as mosques, Buddhist meditations, a trip to a local spiritualist community, and an excursion to the Holy Land theme park.

The club currently looking for new leadership. If you are interested in a leadership position, contact Dr. Brandi Denison at b.denison@unf.edu.
