Pacific Northwest Leadership Institute on Antisemitism in Higher Education
Wednesday, March 11 - Thursday, March 12, 2026
Please join us at Portland State University in downtown Portland, Oregon, for the Pacific Northwest Leadership Institute on Antisemitism in Higher Education, a partnership between Portland State University and the Brandeis University President’s Initiative on Antisemitism.
This two-day intensive seminar is designed to equip senior administrators from Pacific Northwest public and private colleges and universities with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively address antisemitism in their campus communities. Teams of two to four higher education leaders, particularly those working in academic and student affairs, DEI, legal affairs, communications, development, and other senior administrative offices, are invited to attend.
“After attending the Summer Institute on Antisemitism in Higher Education at Brandeis, we were inspired to bring the program to the Pacific Northwest. The multidisciplinary perspectives from thoughtful, knowledgeable scholars and professionals led to rich conversations and a broader understanding of some of the most pressing social issues of our day. Understanding the history and contemporary impacts of antisemitism helped me to feel more confident to address policy and student concerns for all students grappling with how to understand both international events and the rise of antisemitism and racial discrimination in the US today.”
