Women of Faith

Living a religious lifestyle on campus can be tough—living as a religious woman can be even tougher. This Monday, Spectator Opinion asked some of
Columbia’s women of faith to discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by their respective religious traditions. Aseel Najib, a Columbia College first year, challenges others to look past her headscarf, Columbia College senior Alyssa DeSocio discusses life as a Catholic woman leader, and Julie Kamal, a Barnard College first year, discovers Quakerism as her road to self-actualization.
