Miller Cantorial School Davidson Graduate School of Jewish Education The Rabbinical School 1438990 East Lansing — A campus outreach initiative has been implemented by Michigan State University Hillel to provide services to smaller universities throughout Michigan. The goal is for Hillel staff to identify and engage Jewish students at Ferris State University, Central Michigan University, Grand Valley State University, Alma College and Albion College. In its second year, the initiative is funded by the David Kahan family, the Bill LaKritz family, the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit and the Michigan B'nai B'rith Hillel Fund. With the partnership of Betsy Kellman and Michigan Region ADL, additional funding has been secured from the Ravitz Foundation for Confronting Anti-Semitism and CEEF: The Community Education Endowment Fund of the Michigan Region ADL. The five colleges vary in size of Jewish population. Alma has four Jewish stu- dents on campus. Central Michigan and Grand Valley State each have approxi- mately 100 Jewish students with active student leaders. The Jewish student leaders meet weekly to plan programs of interest to Jewish students and the community at large. Recently, leaders arranged for "tabling" events showcasing Hillel. The events were held to identify Jewish freshman stu- dents who, hopefully, will become involved in Hillel. Albion College, with approximately 20 Jewish students, has an active leader- ship in place consisting of a student president and vice president. Jewish stu- dents recently represented Hillel at Albion's annual festival showcasing student groups and activities on campus. Central Michigan students plan to recruit students for Israel trips and distrib- uted apples and honey for Rosh Hashanah. Other plans include a "Hookah in the Sukkah" event featuring Middle Eastern food The smaller schools link to the statewide Hillel network to encourage Jewish students to participate in Taglit-Birthright Israel. The students will be able to travel with other smaller schools from across the state and the nation on a 10- day trip this winter. Other trip options include Alternative Winter Break, which will send students from around the state to Savannah, Ga., on a service learning project.
