Director, Hillel Campus Partners (Higher Education Advisory & Campus Consulting Projects)

Hillel International

Role Overview

Since the atrocities of October 7, Jewish students experienced a more than 700% increase in reported antisemitism on U.S. college campuses during the 2023–2024 academic year.
