ADL’s Campus Leaders Mission to Israel , to take place August 8-16, 2011, provides a diverse group of student journalists and politically active student 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 – both Arab and Jewish – from diverse communities, cultures, religions, and backgrounds. Participants will visit sights of historic, religious, and contemporary interest. The Mission includes a half day orientation in New York, followed by a week traveling in Israel.
Applicants should be leaders on their college/university campus through political involvement, student activism, and/or editors of the campus newspaper. Students who have previously visited Israel or who are graduating seniors are not eligible. Thanks to generous funding from the Charles and Mildred Schnurmacher Foundation and the Mirowski Family Foundation, there will be no cost to selected participants.
The application may be accessed online at www.adl.org/campusmission. The EXTENDED APPLICATION DEADLINE is February 28, 2011.
