Indigenous Freedom of Traditional Prayer

University Ministry's mission is to support the spiritual, religious, and pastoral needs of the USF community. This includes access to "ceremonial forms of prayer that are crucial for students and their spiritual well being on this campus." Thus, ASUSF, with support from University Ministry, and this office's intent to make a reality, passed the Indigenous Freedom of Traditional Prayer for all Indigenous students on campus.
