“Georgetown values people who are of different traditions, it recognizes that society is diverse,” he said, discussing some of the values that attracted him to working as a Muslim chaplain at a Catholic and Jesuit university.

A chaplain-in-residence in Harbin Hall — a residence hall predominantly made up of first-year students, Rahman works as a counselor and mentor and has experience in interfaith settings.

When discussing his decision to come work with Georgetown students, he addressed them directly saying, “(Georgetown recognizes) you should be exposed to the ideas I have to bring; you should be able to dialogue with me.”
