Searching for College in a Time of Increased Antisemitism (Online)

Finding the right college fit is complex and exciting. There are the basic facts: size, location, majors, and clubs; however, for Jewish families all over the United States, many more questions have emerged about the safety of Jewish students on campus. How do we pick the “right fit” school for our Jewish teenagers? What are the things that we should look for? What are the colleges not telling us about their policies? Michelle Paster—TBE member and educational therapist and consultant who has supported hundreds of students over the past thirty years—will address some of these questions and many more about the college process in the age of increased antisemitism.
