On September 23, 2008, five Harvard undergraduates were interviewed by Sally Quinn, a journalist for the Washington Post, about their religious convictions. Students represented Islam, Mormonism, Judaism, Presbyterianism and Buddhism.
Before an audience of approximately 50 students, faculty and chaplains of diverse religions at Beren Hall at Harvard Hillel, these five students were asked to reveal their "spiritual biographies."
Rachel Esplin, an East Asian studies undergraduate and president of the Latter-day Saint Students Association, was asked to explain her background growing up in Idaho, and how coming to Harvard has affected her religious views and convictions.
