OPPORTUNITY: ADL’S CAMPUS LEADERSHIP STUDY MISSION TO ISRAEL
ADL’S CAMPUS LEADERSHIP STUDY MISSION TO ISRAEL
It is my pleasure to invite journalism students to participate in the Anti-Defamation League’s Campus Leadership Study Mission to Israel. This is a fantastic opportunity for journalists to gain a first hand perspective of Israel. Please forward the below email to your students.
All the very best,
Stacey
The Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process, US-Israel relations, Hamas, Hezbollah and the threat of a nuclear Iran make daily headlines and often resonate on your campus. To learn about and assess these important issues first-hand, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is offering qualified campus leaders the opportunity to go on a FREE study mission to Israel.
ADL’s Campus Leadership Study Mission to Israel, to take place June 8-17, 2009, provides student journalists and politically active leaders with an up-close and personal perspective of Israel by learning about the strategic and social challenges facing Israel today. Mission participants will meet with key decision-makers, government and military officials, diplomats, journalists, students and everyday Israelis –Arab and Jewish — from diverse communities, cultures and backgrounds. Participants will visit sights of historical, religious and contemporary interest. The group will take all necessary security precautions and will avoid potentially dangerous areas. The group will travel by private bus.
Thanks to generous funding from the Charles and Mildred Schnurmacher Foundation, there will be no cost to selected participants. This includes travel to/from New York and Israel, accommodation and meals. Please refer to the attached Campus Leadership Mission Overview and Application for more detailed information. Students who have previously visited Israel are not eligible.
To apply for this unique opportunity complete the application form, accompanied by two letters of reference, your resume, and a 500 word essay. You can register online at www.adl.org/campusmission or fax your application to 212-490-0187.
The application deadline is April 15th. If you have any questions, please contact Stacey Popovsky, ADL’s Director of Campus Initiatives, at spopovsky@adl.org or 212-885-7837.
