“Working with CAMERA has been an incredible experience. CAMERA has allowed me to meet speakers who shared with my campus and community the importance of supporting Israel. Choosing to be a Fellow for CAMERA was a great decision that has positively impacted my pro-Israel work.”

Maria Lilly, '15-'16 CAMERA Fellow, University of Alaska-Anchorage
“CAMERA empowered me to use my voice on my campus in a way I never imagined I could. I never thought one voice on a huge campus could make a valuable impact – but I was wrong. The CAMERA Fellowship enabled me to be independent and determined . . .”

Lindsay Hurwitz, '14-'15 CAMERA Fellow, University of Michigan
“CAMERA provides valuable insight about the reality of media sources, and contributing as a CAMERA Fellow was the best way to present the truth about Israel on my campus.”

Philip Chinitz, '13-'14 CAMERA Fellow, University of Delaware
“Being a CAMERA Fellow was one of the most challenging, yet rewarding, experiences while in college. I worked hard and saw that it takes a community of people for success. I look forward to using this lesson … as I venture outside of academics and into the work force.”

Brett Hausler, '13-'14 CAMERA Fellow , UMass Amherst
“Becoming a CAMERA Fellow introduced me to an entire network of passionate, like-minded students, all motivated to put forth truth wherever falsity is found. Through the ever-blossoming friendships between peers and the support from campus coordinators, my intellectual curiosity has widened –– my affection for Israel, revitalized.”

Oshra Bitton, CAMERA Fellow '17-'18, CCNY
