A group of Muslims at UC Irvine isn't looking for fellow students to walk a mile in their shoes, but rather to try a hijab – a traditional headscarf – for a day.
The invitation to campus coeds is among the events the Muslim Student Union has scheduled for Islam Awareness Week.
Tuesday through Friday, the group and several invited speakers will offer discussions on freedom of speech relative to Islam, women's rights and a look at the Quran titled "Beyond Blind Faith."
