Mount Holyoke College’s Office of Religious and Spiritual Life supports a Muslim group on campus. Liza (pronounced Leza) Lozovaya is our Muslim Chaplain. Each Friday at Eliot House there is a Halal lunch and Friday Prayer time, except during Ramadan. The Muslim prayer room is complete with prayer rugs for anyone wishing a quiet space for their daily prayers. Prayer Times Sheets are available in the Eliot House Lounge on the entry bookcase. When Ramadan occurs during the academic year, Suhur and Iftaar is provided. For other Halal dining options, please see Wilder Dining Hall on the Dining Services web page.
