Join CIE for an interactive program where admissions specialists, Jewish campus professionals, professors, community leaders and college students will offer high school juniors and seniors practical advice on choosing colleges, Jewish campus life, classroom encounters, difficult issues and Israel conversations. How might you get the best out of your college years?

Connect with Emma Davis, Elie Rice and Masha Sukhomlinova, Jewish students from Kennesaw State and Emory; Todd Young and Dov Wilker of the ADL and AJC, respectively; Kennesaw State professor Eric Castater; retired Emory professors Marshall Duke, Harvey Klehr, and Ken Stein; Naomi Steinberg, college admissions adviser; Amy Reynolds of Mothers Against College Antisemitism; and Jeremy Lishtig of UGA Hillel.

The transition to college is filled with opportunities, choices and challenges — especially when being Jewish is an important part of who you are. We’ll try to answer your questions. You should leave with tools, knowledge and connections that will make the college experience the best four years of your life.
