ADINA TEIBLOOM
HOMETOWN:
 Chicago, IL
HIGH SCHOOL:
 Lincoln Park
MAJOR:
 Religion
THESIS:
 I am interested in writing a senior essay about the rise of secularism in the Western world and how it has effected the classification of non-western religions across the globe.
ACTIVITIES:
 I am involved in the Jewish community helping in various ways including organizing an Adult Bnei Mitzvah program (students who did not have a bar or bat mitzvah can have one at Wes).  I am involved in the Interfaith Justice League (IJL). This year we opened a program house that will function as a space for discussions on religion and spirituality on campus. I help organize the Fast-a-Than for Ramadan. I am hoping to choreograph or dance in a student production this semester.
OUTSIDE
WESLEYAN:
 During the summer, I work at a summer camp. This past year I created a program where younger counselors are mentored by older counselors. I have also been deeply involved in Interfaith Youth Core, a non-profit organization.
AFTER
WESLEYAN:
 I hope to travel for the year.  I would like to go to South East Asia or return to the location of my semester abroad in Durban, South Africa.  Eventually I am interested in working on a college campus helping university chaplains become more able to create interfaith spaces as well as attract interfaith applicants.
FAV WES EXPERIENCE:
 I enjoy walking away from a class with a classmate or professor or both and continuing the discussion sparked by that course's topics and ideas. I also enjoy it when this discussion comes over dinner or in the evenings with friends who have other majors.  We can sit together making connections between ideas and jokes about our classes while teaching each other.
