Elon’s chapter of Hillel, the foundation for Jewish campus life, has been selected as one of six chapters to participate in the Soref Advancement Initiative (SAI).
SAI is a new, one-year intensive program designed to strengthen Hillel programs on campuses with small Jewish communities. It includes training seminars, consultation, networking and grant monies. The initiative will help local Hillel organizations in their work to develop programs to meet the needs of Jewish students, and add strength to the diversity of the campus community.
Jeff Stein, assistant dean of students, and student leader Allee Lichtenstein met with representatives from the five other campus recently for the first SAI training seminar.
