Response to the October 7th attack and Addressing antisemitism on campus

Our thoughts are with the people of Israel and Jewish communities around the world during this trying time. As difficult as this situation is, we remain steadfastly committed to Israel as a Jewish and democratic state and promoting a positive attachment to Israel is a core component of our programing and vision. We are additionally committed to the welfare of our many students during this time. Please read our statement below that was released after the October 7th attack.

The serious uptick of antisemitism on college campuses around the country is deeply disturbing. We are here to provide support and protect Jewish students on campuses who have witnessed or been the victims of an antisemitic incident. Please visit the page on our website with a list of resources for reporting cases of antisemitism.
