"Creating a positive campus climate for Israel has long been one of my top priorities. Since its inception, the Israel on Campus Coalition has been at the forefront of building and empowering a broad national network of Israel supporters on campus. Today, with Israel facing a litany of challenges both at home and abroad, I draw strength in knowing that the ICC is there ensuring that this campus network has the skills, resources and opportunities they need to have a strong voice for Israel as the Jewish homeland, a key ally of the United States and a full and legitimate modern state." –Lynn Schusterman
“Being an intern has been one of the best experiences I have had at Emory. To know that I have been able to make an impact on campus is something that I take great pride in. Being an intern gave me the opportunity to become more active in creating a strong pro-Israel atmosphere on campus. While doing research about Emory's campus, I was able to learn about the attitudes towards Israel and my campus's strengths and weaknesses. I believe that Israel for Dummies met the outcomes I was expecting to achieve. I can successfully say that I have educated 15 Jewish students through Israel for Dummies, allowing them to become 'confident, effective Israel advocates.' [It feels] great in being able to have had such an impact on campus and hope that Israel for Dummies is something that will continue on campus. I have moved from being a bystander to an active member of the Israel community.” –Danielle Eisenberg, a MZ-Grinspoon Intern
“When the Israel on Campus Coalition was created in 2002 I immediately saw an opportunity to help improve the future for the Jewish people and Israel. I have invested in this agenda from the beginning through the creation with Hillel of the Grinspoon-MZ Foundation Israel Advocacy Internship. This program teaches our future leaders the skills to promote a positive Israel agenda, build relationships with campus decision-makers, and help change the campus environment towards Israel. I am proud that the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, together with our partners the MZ Foundation, have been able to fund over 350 students on 98 campuses. There is so much more that needs to be done and I hope others will join us in supporting ICC and its vital mission as week look to secure a brighter future for our children and grandchildren.” –Harold Grinspoon
