STARS page 15

both by the School of Social Work
and by the STaR program. Once
accepted, students take approxi-
-\ mately six courses in Judaic stud-
ies in addition to meeting
requirements for a master's in so-
cial work in order to graduate
/ with both an MSW and a certifi-
see' in Jewish communal service.
Some students are now pursuing
MBA degrees as part of the pro-
gram as well.
They must also take the re-
quired STaR courses. A four-se-
mester seminar serves as a
"thread" in the entire program.
Students are enrolled in the
course throughout two years. As
part of the course, they meet with
both lay and professional leaders
— including monthly meetings
with Bob Aronson — hold ses-
sions with Jewish scholars who
are visiting the U-M and collec-
tively address career issues.
They also meet with area lay
leaders, often in their homes or
over dinner, to "learn from those
who've been," as Mr. Rosenberg
puts it, "on the policy firing line."
They include: Judge Avern Cohn,
Bill Berman, Lawrence Jackier,
Irving and Carol Smokler and
Jane Sherman.
They must also attend one
Council of Jewish Federations
General Assembly and are en-
couraged to work on campus is-
sues, such as the U-M Hillel's
annual Holocaust Conference.
The two other courses, Con-
temporary Issues in Jewish Com-
munal Service in the U.S. and
Abroad and Contemporary Issues
in the American Jewish Com-
munity, are regular one-semes-
ter courses at the School of Social
Work, open to all graduate stu-
dents at the university.
Internships are also an inte-
gral part of the program. Stu-
dents hold internships in some of
the many Jewish agencies in
southeastern Michigan, includ-
ing the Federation, Jewish Fed-
eration Apartments, Jewish
Family Service, the Anti-Defama-
tion League and local Hillels.
STaR now receives funding
from the Detroit Federation, oth-
er local federations and private
donors. 'The value to this Feder-
ation is incredible. We have a di-
rect access to the training
highway," a staff member said.
"But the relationship is not with-
out its tensions." At issue is the
level of funding needed to main-
tain the program and a concern
that all graduates do not commit
to staying in Detroit. About a
third now work in the metro area.
"That more of them don't stay
here immediately upon gradua-
tion has more to do with the lack
of entry level jobs for them," ex-
plains Mr. Lauffer.
"In the long run, this will cease
to be a concern," he predicts.
"Once our graduates will have
been in the field for two or three
years, Detroit agencies will be
bringing them back for mid-lev-

el management positions. It's al-
ready begun to happen. The stu-
dents had excellent internship
experiences in area agencies.
`They like this commuity, have
a great deal of respect for its lay
and professional leaders. Detroit's
a good place to raise a Jewish
family, and it's a good place to
work in Jewish communal set-
tings. The fact that Detroit cre-
ated Project STaR is not lost on
our students or on the graduates
of other programs."
Despite the funding questions,
the relationship between STaR
and the Detroit Jewish commu-
nity appears to be working. Di-
rectors of local agencies say they
are happy with both the quality
and dedication of the interns.

About a third
work in the
metro area.

"We're very enthusiastic about
this program," said Howard Gel-
berd, director of the Agency for
Jewish Education. "They get
great theory and then they come
to us for the practice."
That's what Lainie Goodman
did when she interned at the
Washtenaw County JCC with a
goal of expanding their pro-
gramming for teen-agers. She
first surveyed the local Jewish
teen-agers to find out their con-
cerns. When getting into college
topped the list, she organized a
well-attended college fair.
"Without STaR, I wouldn't
have known that these are things
to do," she said.
There is still more that Ar-
mand Lauffer wants for STaR.
Further increasing the number
of students, reaching practition-
ers already in the field who might
want further training and ex-
panding internships abroad are
all on his short list. Students
have already interned in Israel
and a recent Russian emigre will
intern in her native country this
summer. But he is pleased with
the program's progress.
'We're exactly where we want-
ed to be at this point in our de-
velopment," he said. 0
