CAM was represented at the event by International Affairs Research and Engagement Department team member Derek Tassone.

Collaboration between organizations such as CAM and Hillel International is an essential element of the collective effort to tackle the issue of rising antisemitism on college and university campuses across the United States and worldwide.
