Carmen Sandiego, Matt Lauer and Waldo have nothing on Rohany Nahan, a graduate fellow of the Lubar Institute for the Study of the Abrahamic Religions (LISAR).

Since the beginning of the semester Nahan has been invited to speak to many, including UW-Madison and Edgewood College classes, Wisconsin-based religious groups and congregations, and even the Prairie du Chien Rotary Club about different aspects of Islam and its traditions.

Nahan also leads the LISAR community forum which regularly assembles members of the major Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) for a "trialogue" in the expectation that such interaction will engender greater understanding of each other's religions and more peaceful relations.

Nayan is the Wisconsin Idea embodied, taking the work of LISAR to the boundaries of the state.
