Jewish Emerging Adulthood: A Research Convening
On May 15, 2024, MCSJE convened a small group of researchers studying Jewish emerging adults, as well as campus environments for these students, to discuss Jewish Emerging Adulthood. It was an opportunity for Brandeis and non-Brandeis researchers with current research projects at various stages of development to gather, share their studies, and engage in dialogue about future research directions.
