ADDRESSING CAMPUS
ANTISEMITISM
Robinson takes a number
of approaches to combat
antisemitism and build Jewish
inclusivity on campus, the first
of which starts with simply
engaging with other students
and faculty.
“The first one is building
those relationships with other
organizations and hiring offi-
cials within the university,” he
explains. “Hillel International
has also developed a new
antisemitism education
curriculum that’s set to be
released soon, so I plan on
using that as a really great
educational tool.”
Robinson hopes the new
curriculum can teach stu-
dents and staff alike factual,
truthful information about the
impacts of antisemitism. He’s
also shared wisdom on how
to honor Holocaust survivors,
leading Robinson to receive
the Diversity Torch during
Holocaust Remembrance
Month.
“It was really nice to receive
it,
” Robinson says of the award.
“[Michigan State] emailed me
to discuss it, but I didn’t realize
that it was an actual award.
I thought it would just be an
article.
”
A member of Temple Shir
Shalom, Robinson hopes to
continue his education and
pursue a master’s degree in
business administration. His
four years of hard work build-
ing inclusivity for Jewish stu-
dents and a stronger on-cam-
pus Jewish life, however, will
continue to make waves.
A PASSION THAT
GROWS WITH TIME
“He’s made connections all
over the world,” says Steve
Robinson, Jordan’s father.
“Through these platforms
and with the support of these
groups behind him, he is able
to expound upon his beliefs
and activism. It helped him
build a dialogue with his audi-
ence.”
Steve Robinson says his
son’s passion for activism
and community involvement
has continued to grow with
age. “His interest has become
increasingly apparent as he
gets older,” he explains.
In addition, Jordan
Robinson has participated in
dozens of meetings through-
out his four years at Michigan
State, helping secure large
donations for MSU Hillel to
ensure its long-term stability.
“Not only will he continue
to make this place a stable,
welcoming environment, but
so will others,” Steve Robinson
explains of the impact of
these donations, among other
efforts.
In the face of adversity and
mounting antisemitism on an
international scale, Jordan’s
mother, Julie Robinson, says
her son continues to work
hard to create a more inclusive
world that starts with changes
in his own community.
“Jordan has worked hard
to keep the discussion of
antisemitism in the public
eye,” says Julie Robinson,
“especially on such a diverse
campus as Michigan State
University.”
“JORDAN HAS WORKED HARD TO
KEEP THE DISCUSSION OF
ANTISEMITISM IN THE PUBLIC EYE.”
