AJC University Societies

AJC has four University Societies that aim to engage young Jewish leaders in AJC's affairs and provide them with access to AJC's broad diplomatic reach and strategic expertise. The Societies' mission is to identify and educate a group of outstanding young Jewish people on these four university campuses about Israel, American Jewish affairs, and other aspects of AJC's multifaceted domestic and international agenda. Israel education and advocacy are a big part of the programming that AJC helps provide to these campuses through advocacy training sessions and public events on the situation in the Middle East. In addition, the Societies provide students with the chance to travel internationally as well as the opportunity to engage foreign and domestic diplomats, policymakers and other non-governmental leaders. To extend their reach, AJC campus societies partner with Jewish and non-Jewish organizations on their respective campuses.

AJC currently hosts University Societies at  > Colgate University > Cornell University  > Princeton University  > Harvard University  > New York University > Stern College at Yeshiva University
