Israel Education Center

As antisemitism soars and crises evolve, our holistic approach, adapted to each university’s specific needs, has proven to be a true investment in Jewish life and Israel affiliation across the country.  

Our Approach

 When anti-Israel activity comes to campus, IEC professionals are on-the-ground and available around-the-clock to assist students with campaign messaging, coalition building, and other strategic activities to counter BDS and other anti-Israel movements. 

We work closely with Hillels across the Midwest to provide Jewish students and Hillel professionals with the most effective strategies to combat delegitimization, anti-Israel activity and the BDS movement. IEC professionals engage the entire university community, from residence life advisors to faculty and chancellors before, after, and during anti-Israel activity.
