Become a Stronger Educator.

The Academic Engagement Network (AEN) equips faculty, administrators, and PhD students with the knowledge and tools to speak with authority on antisemitism and advance education on Israel.

Through a series of programs and opportunities, members help create an inclusive and welcoming campus community where Jewish and all students can feel safe.

A series of hub convenings organized in cities across the nation bring together local faculty who are interested in sharing best practices and strengthening their networks. They learn from and with one another about challenges on campus and the ways in which AEN can support their efforts to fight antisemitism, anti-Zionism, and anti-Israel bias.

Travel to Israel

with faculty colleagues.

Educational delegations to Israel give U.S. faculty an opportunity to engage with their counterparts at Israeli universities, gain a deeper understanding of the challenges facing Israeli faculty and students since October 7, and develop ideas for innovative programming for their own campuses.

These delegations are part of an effort to educate and empower faculty, counteract anti-Israel boycotts in the academy, and mobilize against antisemitism and anti-Israel bias on U.S. campuses. By creating connections and partnerships, learning about complex realities, and developing programs that educate and inspire, we are helping to shift the campus climate.

Do more with a microgrant.

Faculty can receive grants to support programs on campus, panels and workshops, research, and other opportunities related to Israel and antisemitism education.
