The Islamic Center at NYU serves the Muslim population at New York University and falls within the Division of Student Affairs. Unlike most university-based Muslim organizations that are student run, the Islamic Center at NYU is overseen by the Office of the Muslim Chaplain and its volunteer staff.

Today's Islamic Center caters to a wide and growing audience, reaching not only Muslims in New York City, but also individuals from other communities. The Islamic Center at NYU is dedicated to fostering a sense of awareness, Activism, and scholarship amongst the Muslim community both on and off campus.

Inspired by the idea that America's Muslim community will best develop in a supportive environment, the Islamic Center has not only seen tremendous increase in membership, but has motivated its constituents to find new ways to harness their resources and expand their relationships with the wider community.
