Abstract	Muslim students have a host of challenges and hurdles to overcome on colleges campuses today, particularly in light of the socio-political circumstances. With the rise in Islamophobia and hate crimes, coupled with day-to-day obstacles that minority students face in institutions of higher education, there is a noticeable gap in the services that are available to them. The lack of availability of prayer spaces, halal food options, culturally competent counseling, and important services like that of chaplaincy are concerns for the Muslim student population. These obstacles are exasperated for the Shia community, a minority sect of Islam that amounts to approximately 20 percent of the Muslim population across the world. Historically oppressed and isolated from the "mainstream majority," the navigation of identity for Shia Muslim students during the formative period of ones' life as a college student is exceptionally challenging.
