Friendship
on Campus

Imagining tomorrow.

The leaders of tomorrow are wandering the campuses and halls of our great institutions of higher learning. These incubators for thought and social experience are shaping their worldview and their perspectives on an evolving world. These physical encounters are a critical part of their ability to understand one another and exchange ideas away from the digital space.

The Friendship League brings the conversation to faculty and students, centered on the common ground shared by the United States and Israel. It helps American students discover and better understand Israeli society on American campuses, while also sponsoring courses for American students at Israeli universities. These initiatives are all geared toward fostering dialogue and exchange among students and faculty, while building relationships between academic institutions in the United States and their peers in Israel.

Study tours are facilitated to give American students a unique opportunity to experience the pluralism of Israeli society through an academic lens, and to engage openly with their peers.
