A Remarkable Beginning...
The Carolina Center for Jewish Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences is off to an even stronger start than any of us could 
have imagined. Having raised nearly $9 million in its first five years, the program is clearly flourishing, with over 1,000 students annually enrolled in a diverse set of courses ranging from biblical archaeology to the history of the Holocaust to Jews in Russian and Polish literature.
Of course, the Center could not have reached this level of success without the generous support of so many Carolina alumni and friends. Among the gifts that are proving so beneficial are endowments to establish professorships, fund lectureships, and provide resources for the Center to meet its most pressing needs. See our list of generous endowment gifts that will benefit Jewish Studies at Carolina across the years to come.
The Next Horizon. . .
To further the Center’s aspiration to create a comprehensive major as well as enable it to provide support for graduate students whose scholarship explores the Jewish experience, the College is actively seeking an additional $16.2 million in private support. These funds will be used to recruit and retain faculty whose teaching and research will enable the Center to expand the course offerings that a Jewish Studies major will require. The funds will also be used to offer fellowships and research and travel support to graduate students in a wide range of departments, thereby enabling the Center to help prepare the next generation of teacher-scholars in the field.

Of course, gifts at all levels are essential and enable the Center 
to maintain the reputation for excellence that it has already attained. These visible signs of support will establish an impressive network of friends whose collective generosity will inscribe the Carolina Center for Jewish Studies in the Book of Life for generations to come.
