The Campus Climate Initiative (CCI) partners with higher education administrators to ensure a positive campus climate in which Jewish students feel comfortable expressing their identity and values, free of antisemitism, harassment, or marginalization. Administrative leaders play an essential role in effecting broad-based educational and policy change on their campuses. At this time of rising antisemitism and societal polarization, partnerships between campuses, CCI and local Hillels catalyze positive changes that benefit Jewish students and all students.

To date, more than 70 colleges and universities in North America participate in CCI’s Campus Cohort Program, a 10-month program of learning, data collection and analysis, and data-informed action planning and implementation that improves the campus climate for Jewish students and all students.

The selection of resources below includes some of the best practices and key learnings from our CCI Campus Cohort Program.
