Engaging, Cultivating & Connecting Jewish Leadership

Connect is where networking becomes community. Join grad students, alumni, and executives from all fields, including law, tech, and business, for a great big networking evening!

Featuring sushi and an open bar, you won't want to miss this evening of meaningful connections, engaging conversation, and new opportunities to grow your professional and social circle. 

This session is designed to help students clearly understand their rights under federal civil rights law and what colleges and universities must do to ensure a safe, non-discriminatory learning environment.

Led by Sara Colb, ADL’s Director of Advocacy, this training will walk through:

1. What kinds of conduct qualify as prohibited discrimination, including different treatment, harassment, and retaliation.
2. Which students are protected under Title VI, including those targeted for their Jewish and Israeli identities.
3. How a hostile environment is legally defined and the signs students should look for.
4. What schools are required to do once they know about a hostile environment, including when incidents involve protected speech.
5. Real examples of compliance challenges and how they were addressed.

A live Q&A will follow, giving students the opportunity to ask questions about their rights, reporting pathways, and what effective institutional responses should look like.
