The Frieze Family Foundation Summer Institute on Antisemitism in Higher Education is pleased to invite applications for the 2025 Institute. Launched successfully last summer as a pilot program of the newly formed Brandeis University President's Initiative on Antisemitism, the Institute aims to raise awareness and provide senior administrators in academic and student affairs positions with a toolbox of practices and actions to effectively confront antisemitism on their campuses.
Join us to engage with academic, legal, and Jewish communal experts to learn about the history of antisemitism, the varied and nuanced ways in which antisemitism affects higher education, and how research data can inform campus interventions and policies. We will also explore anti-Zionism and its relationship to contemporary antisemitism, developing skills to navigate engaging with the topic of Israeli and Palestinian relations in a time of crisis.
Upon return to your home campus, you and your team will be expected to implement a project or initiative, developed and workshopped during the Institute, to create meaningful change in your campus community.
Designed especially for institutional teams of two-four U.S. higher education leaders and senior administrators, working in departments such as: academic affairs, DEI and legal affairs, communications, development, president, provost, and deans' offices, et. al.
