St. John Francis Regis Chapel

Imam Khalid Latif  is a University Chaplain for New York University (NYU), Executive Director of the Islamic Center at NYU, and a Chaplain for the New York Police Department (NYPD). 

He was appointed the first Muslim chaplain at NYU in 2005 where he began to initiate his vision for a pluralistic future on and off campus for American Muslims. Under his leadership, the Islamic Center at NYU 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 the city, so much so that in 2007 Mayor Michael Bloomberg nominated Imam Latif to become the youngest chaplain in history of the NYPD at the age of 24.
