Project Nur (PN), "new light on campus," is the student-led initiative of the American Islamic Congress. It offers a civic identity grounded in pluralism and progressive thinking and action, one that dispels the perception of a monolithic Muslim voice. PN is a Muslim-led forum for students from various backgrounds, cultures, and faiths to come together to celebrate their differences, and bring light or knowledge to their respective communities.
The goals of the Project Nur relate to the name and mission which is to reach out to students to promote understanding of each other in the spirit of enlightenment.
Project Nur aims to form a social arena for students to represent a strong identity of multicultural backgrounds and opinions, while opening the doors for people of other cultures to come, share, discuss, and ask questions in a multicultural setting.
Project Nur's goal is to a build a student led initiative for human rights and civil rights led by students in order to denounce hate speech and violence, by being committed to co-existence, tolerance and individual human and civil rights.
Project Nur aims to create the ground for voices of pluralism of Muslim-Americans and non-Muslim Americans by working with students who are progressive, reformist, liberal, secular, moderate or conservative and without proselytizing and judging Muslims of different thought.
Project Nur does not make religious rulings, and the chapters will not provide a religious agenda. The role of Project Nur is to promote human rights, promote positive social change in the pursuit of civil rights, and celebrate cultural and social identities students whether the individuals are religious or not.
