He is a graduate of the Bayan Master’s Islamic Studies Program, with an academic focus in Islamic Ethics, Contemporary Islamic Thought, and Muslim Adolescent Identity Development.
  • Guests will also enjoy a live musical performance by singer-songwriter Raef Haggag, along with inspiring student performances showcasing, along with inspiring student performances the talent and spirit of our NIA community.
