Welcome to the Duke Center for Muslim Life!
The Duke Center for Muslim Life (CML) is a department within the Division of Duke Student Affairs and constitutes one of the most robust Muslim Life programs in higher education in the United States. When the CML first opened its doors in 2009, Duke University was one of only four universities to have a paid, full-time Muslim chaplain. Now, through the combined efforts of our staff, which includes an Office Coordinator, Student Development Coordinator, Muslim Chaplain, and Program Associate, the CML strives to attend to the needs of the diverse community of Muslim students at Duke and create a space where Muslims from marginalized communities feel welcome and are cared for. In other words, we are a home away from home for all Muslim students, staff, faculty, and community members.
The CML provides a welcoming environment for students to explore Muslim identity, celebrate Muslim and Islamic cultures, build community, and engage with Islam in spiritual, social, and intellectual ways. We do this through religious, cultural, academic, and social programming throughout the year, mentorship, student leadership development, and more. Check out our Programs page to learn more about our initiatives or look on Duke Groups or the Duke CML Instagram for information on upcoming events.
