Details

Bean Pie & Chai is a casual gathering held during Duke’s Family Weekend, inviting the families of Muslim students to visit the Center for Muslim Life (CML) and meet the staff who support their children throughout the year. This event creates a welcoming and relaxed space for parents, students, and family members to connect over bean pies, a distinctive African American dish, and chai, a drink familiar in many immigrant Muslim communities. It’s a celebration of culture and community, reinforcing the idea that the Duke Muslim community is a diverse and caring family away from home.

Objectives:
1. Build a sense of belonging and trust between Muslim students and their families
2. Highlight the supportive and inclusive environment of the Duke Muslim community
