General Letter to Students & Parents re Campus Protests

May 6, 2024

Dear JELF Students and Parents,

We hope this email finds you safe and well during this very challenging time to be a Jewish student in college and on campus. We know recent events have likely added additional stress and uncertainty to your college experience.

With JELF students attending 175 different universities across the country, including Columbia and UCLA (among others) which have been widely featured on the news, we want you to know we are here to support you in any way we can. We also want to remind you that JELF is committed to helping reduce the financial burden you may be facing.

As the academic term progresses and final exams approach, we want to wish you the best of luck and let you know you are not alone. No matter what the remainder of the term looks like, please know we are rooting for you and sending our best wishes for a successful and fulfilling academic journey.

We have created a student resources page specifically for college students, where you can find information and support tailored to your needs. If your situation is changing or if you require assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

Warm regards,

Jenna Shulman,  Emily Sauerteig, Sandra Bass
