A Remarkable Beginning. . .
The Carolina Center for Jewish Studies is off to an even stronger start than any of us could have imagined. The undergraduate minor is flourishing and the program is having a broad impact across the College, with almost 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. . .
In order to move from an undergraduate minor to a comprehensive major in the College of Arts and Sciences, the Carolina Center for Jewish Studies is actively seeking additional support to recruit and retain faculty whose teaching and research will enable it to expand the number of course offerings that a major requires. Specifically, the Center seeks funds to hire junior faculty, offer summer faculty fellowships, and provide travel and research awards for the most promising teacher-scholars.

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.
