Israel Campus Culture
We believe that education comes before anything. Our educational programs help build an informed Jewish community, send students to Israel, and create life-learning programs on campus. By participating in various events, Israel-related learning fellowships, and discussions students have the opportunity to foster a meaningful relationship with Israel and their personal Jewish identities.
Currently, CSU Chico is partnering with Hillel International's Campus Climate Initiative (CCI). The Campus Climate Initiative works alongside higher education administrators to foster a welcoming campus environment where Jewish students can freely express their identity and beliefs without fear of discrimination. CSU Chico is developing policy dedicated to the safety of our Jewish students. Administrators are broadening their understanding of Jewish student's needs and the different forms of antisemitism. The next steps include bringing on lay leaders, faculty, and student leadership departments to continue increasing awareness and ensuring the safety of Jewish students.
