Imam Khalid Latif is a University Chaplain for New York University, and Executive Director of the Islamic Center at NYU (ICNYU). Under his leadership, ICNYU became the first ever established Muslim student center at an institution of higher education in the United States. Imam Latif’s exceptional dedication and ability to cross interfaith and cultural lines on a daily basis brought him recognition throughout New York City, so much so that in 2007, Mayor Michael Bloomberg nominated Imam Latif to become the youngest chaplain in history of the New York City Police Department at the age of 24.
Most recently, Imam Latif was selected as one of 60 New York City leaders to serve on Mayor Bill de Blasio’s transition team, helping to recommend and select individuals for key roles in the current NYC administration and was also appointed to a “Task Force to Combat Hate” by NYC Public Advocate Letitia James to deal with the rise in Islamophobic, antisemitic, and anti-Sikh sentiment in NYC.
Brother Munaf Qazi has been an IC community member for over 8 years. He started his journey as part of the NYU MSA, then graduated to the IC, and now leads the IC Professionals group. With a background in electrical engineering and AI, Munaf and his team of AI engineers are modernizing risk assessment. When not working, he can be found reflecting at nature hikes accompanied by a thermos of green tea.
ATTENTION: Per NYU policy, all non-NYU guests must request in-person access via our Building Access Form before arriving. Upon arrival, you’ll need to present a physical, government-issued photo ID. A digital copy or photo will not be accepted. Also, the name on your ID must match the name you used on the form. If you don’t meet these conditions, you won’t be allowed in the building.
