The Muslim Students Association at the University of Dayton will be celebrating Islam Awareness Week on March 1-7.

On Tuesday the Muslim Students Association at the University of Dayton will host a public lecture "Islam and the USA: A Match Made in Heaven?" at 7:30 p.m. in the Sears Recital Hall of the Humanities Center. Featured speaker will be Islamic scholar Imam Alauddin Alauddin of Columbus.

Jason Coleman is a UD student and member of MSA.

"Islam Awareness Week is mainly to inform people on campus about the religion of Islam. It is an informative week that we have," Coleman said. "Islam Awareness Week is important especially in the post 9/11 era because not to many people are familiar with the religion. Our job is to inform people about our religion and what we're all about. UD has been very supportive of our efforts."
