Georgia College Goodrich Hillel
Georgia College & State University is proud to announce our new Hillel!
GCSU is Georgia's public liberal arts university where personal attention and connections between studetns nad faculty are key. Our new Hillel is small enough that you can have an impact on the leadership of the organization. We welcome new input and ides. Our Holocaust Symposium provided the campus with 15 events in a month-long series and brought in 600 high school students from around the region to meet a Survivor and see a play with music about Anne Frank. We are an active and vital community that welcomes new members.
Interested in getting more information? Please get in touch with faculty adviser Karen Berman or email student board member Sarah Levine.

What did we do last year?
We participated in a Holocaust Symposium and helped 940 High School students to appreciate the chamber opera about Anne Frank entitled You'rs Anne, which included a Tolerance mural-making "Lunch and Learn" with Holocaust Survivor Andre Kessler in collaboration with the Breman Jewish Heritage Museum.
We brought in Director of the Southeast Region Anti-Defamation League Bill Nigut as part of the campus Global Symposium on Human Rights to speak on what the campus and community can do to address issues of distrimination.
