The ICC was established with the following mission:
- Foster support for Israel, an appreciation for Zionism, and a better understanding of Israel’s history, culture, values, accomplishments and challenges, among all members of the university community, including students, campus professionals, faculty and administration
- Cultivate an Israel-friendly university environment, and reduce anti-Israel intimidation and harassment on campus
To achieve its mission, the ICC will use a three-pronged approach:
- Increase strategic cooperation and collaboration within the Jewish community to effect a positive and pro-active Israel agenda on campus
- Empower Israel's current and potential campus supporters to advocate successfully, through skill-building, educational programming and Israel travel experiences
- Take responsibility for steering specific initiatives which help the ICC and its members achieve these common goals
