CAMERA on Campus hosts International Student Leadership Conferen
Leading The Charge: Students From Across the US, UK and Israel Attend CAMERA on Campus’ Leadership Conference
CAMERA on Campus, the campus division of the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting & Analysis, hosted forty five student leaders from major campuses across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Israel at its international student leadership conference in Boston from July 28th to July 31st, 2024.
“This year’s conference has taken a far more serious tone. The usual celebratory spirit present in pro-Israel advocacy circles has been replaced by mission-minded efforts to tackle rising antisemitism and anti-Israel bias on college campuses,” said Hali Spiegel, campus director for CAMERA.
In light of the hostile climate on college and university campuses worldwide, the CAMERA on Campus team organized 22 strategically developed educational sessions led by members of the campus department, CAMERA researchers and world leading experts. Topics for these sessions included Op-ed writing, digital activism, media training, legal rights on campus, research methods and how to engage in debate and discussion effectively.

The CAMERA on Campus team has seen tremendous growth with the addition of three campus advisors to support our students across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Israel.
