AJC Empowers School Administrators and Faculty
The Center ’ s founding comes in the wake of Hamas ’ October 7 massacre , which sparked pro-Hamas , anti-Israel , and antisemitic protests on countless college campuses . Jewish students have been left feeling vulnerable and isolated , with some fearing for their safety and forced to conceal their Jewish identity .
Young Jews must be able to learn and grow , free of fear , in atmospheres that foster their belonging . Administrators , faculty , parents , and students themselves need support and guidance to ensure this is possible , and AJC ’ s Center for Education Advocacy is there to provide that direction .
AJC Empowers School Administrators and Faculty
AJC works closely with university and K-12 administrators and faculty on strategic initiatives aimed at combating campus antisemitism . Our work reflects a deep commitment to democratic values , factbased inquiry , and intergroup work .
We train school leaders to recognize and respond to all manifestations of antisemitism and help equip them with effective tools to unpack and confront anti-Jewish hate . We regularly publish guides and toolkits that address the most current issues facing campuses , and detail proactive strategies and concrete steps to ensure their Jewish students can thrive in any educational environment .
In September 2024 , AJC , in partnership with Hillel International and the American Council on Education ( ACE ), hosted our landmark College and University Presidents Summit on Campus Antisemitism in Washington , D . C . Attended by 75 + U . S . university presidents and chancellors , the Summit was an incredible solutionsdriven conference to address surging antisemitic activity and the marginalization of Jews on campus .
