The SUSI program for Student Leaders on Religious Pluralism in America has been created by two educational organizations—the Dialogue Institute (DI) and the International Center for Contemporary Education (ICCE). The Dialogue Institute was founded in 1978 to advance inter-religious/cross-cultural understanding and scholarship through education, networking and resource development; it is related to the Department of Religion at Temple University. The ICCE, with offices in Philadelphia, Lebanon, and Jordan, runs domestic and international programs that promote educational excellence, cultural understanding, and tolerance for religious, ethnic and racial differences within and across communities. Together we are delighted to welcome this group of international students for a unique learning experience based at Temple University.
