Muslim cleric to lead national association of chaplains in higher ed
An imam, Adeel Zeb, will lead the National Association of College and University Chaplains.
Members of the Baltimore-based organization chose Zeb, who is a chaplain at the Claremont Colleges, to be their next president at a recent annual conference. When he takes up his post in June, he will be the first Muslim to serve in the role since the association’s creation in 1948.
Among the challenges he sees for chaplains in higher education today is making religious traditions a tool for bringing students together.
