In the face of increasing BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions against Israel) activity on college campuses, Podcast host Professor David Clyde welcomed Brett Cohen from StandWithUS Tuesday evening.

Since its founding in 2001, StandWithUs has supported, trained, and provided resources to college students across North America. Over the years, the campus department has grown to include a sizeable team of campus professionals and lay leaders who are dedicated to supporting students’ efforts to promote and defend Israel amid the virulent anti-Israel movement on college campuses. Our activity on campuses includes activism training, financial assistance for programming, educational campaigns, and informational material to support pro-Israel student groups and efforts.
StandWithUs provides support and guidance to student groups opposing BDS efforts by anti-Israel groups. Furthermore, elite student leaders on college campuses across North America are invited to apply for the prestigious StandWithUs Emerson Fellowship each year.
