Student government should be a platform to improve campus life, and plan fulfilling programs for one’s peers. So why does it seem like many student governments have become little more than a platform for constant vilification of Israel?
The AJC Sharon Greene Award for Campus Advocacy was presented by Lisa Pruzan, AJC Executive Council, and Charlie Pruzan, AJC Leaders for Tomorrow (LFT) Alumnus to Lily Cohen and Ethan Less from Northwestern University Hillel, as well as Charlotte Aaron, Milton Zerman, and Hannah Krutsiansky from the Jewish Students Association at Berkeley Law.
Amid increasing threats, harassment, and violence being directed at Jewish students at campus protests and encampments across the country, American Jewish Committee (AJC) – along with our partners at Columbia/Barnard Hillel, Hillel International, and UJA-Federation of New York – called on universities and their leaders to keep Jewish students safe on their campuses.
