Service with Zaytuna College and Berkeley Muslim Students’ Association
Reflections from the Dartmouth Chaplaincy
By Maryam Zafer
“Our first day took us to the UC Berkeley campus where students of Zaytuna College greeted our 13 enthusiastic trip members soaked from the characteristic early-Spring Northern California downpour.
