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.”
