College can be a challenging experience for anyone at any time. But for Jewish students, whether entering their first year or returning to campus, rising antisemitism and anti-Israel protests can threaten their ability to learn, thrive and even exist. With partners including Hillels of Georgia, American Jewish Committee, the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta’s JTeen initiative, the Jewish Community Relations Council of Atlanta, RootOne and SHIELD, CIE is providing a free gathering from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 10, to help students prepare for the fall semester and beyond. From Jewish professionals working on campuses and from current students and recent graduates, engage in insightful conversations about what you can expect at college, what you need to know in the face of hatred of Israel and Jews, how to recognize and respond if your rights are violated, what support and community you’ll find, and how to make the most of your college years. It’s all free, and you’ll head to campus with an electronic resource guide customized to your school. To register, visit https://rb.gy/6kzb20.
