Middle East Coexistence House

Jameson Hall, Douglass Campus
Douglass Residential College (open to DRC and non-DRC students)

Born from a student initiative, the Middle East Coexistence House is a living learning community designed to create a "hands-on experience in coexistence." The mission of the house is to promote women's involvement in international conflict negotiation and resolution and to encourage further understanding and coexistence between Jewish, Muslim, and Christian women at Rutgers University. Specialized programming, events, and travel opportunities designed to deepen students' understanding of the Middle East and coexistence efforts are offered each year.
