Elon Jewish Life Advisory Council (JLAC)

The Jewish Life Advisory Council (JLAC) was formed in 2011 to provide leadership and vision for the enhancement of Jewish Life and Jewish Studies for all Jewish students at Elon.

JLAC members are essential partners in shaping the vision and guiding the course of Jewish life at Elon. Membership is available at different levels, starting at an annual gift of $1,800.

The Jewish Life Advisory Board adheres to the ABCs of JLAC, and parent members act as Ambassadors, Backers, and Champions of Jewish Life at Elon.
