Mr. Sameer Ali is a 2014 college graduate of Stanford University. He is an Imam and Chaplain at Marquette University. He is from India but grew up in New Jersey where most of his family still resides today. Growing up with two siblings, Mr. Ali identifies mostly as American and acknowledges that people culturally similar have different experiences. When not serving as a Chaplain, Mr. Ali serves as an Imam where his duties include delivering sermons, counseling, performing religious rituals, and being available as a pastoral minister to his community. At his Mosque, Mr. Ali serves to make participation easy for all by providing wheelchair accessibility to the disabled and aims to be open and accepting to all who come to worship. To those experiencing hardships or relationship struggles, Mr. Ali makes time to sit down and listen to his people. It is important to him to meet the spiritual and emotional needs of his community members. Mr. Ali is proud that America is a country based on immigrants and is a nation built on preserving the liberty of those with unique religions and countries.
