More than 500 people attended the conference, representing students and staff from colleges and universities from all over the country. 

The conference travel was funded by a grant from the Interfaith Youth Core. As a result of the knowledge and experiences the students gained, Campus Ministry will be implementing changes to facilitate and create more dialogue, education, and awareness of all faiths and world view identities, Mancini-Goebert said.
