The SJSP faculty responds to community interest in their expertise by
lecturing to many groups, offering mini-courses, and consulting to Jewish
organizations. Faculty members are typically involved each year in activities
with more than 20 organizations — religious and secular, Jewish and
non-Jewish — throughout the community. The program estimates that
every year it reaches 2,000 or more non-students through its programs on
and off campus. Through the UW’s Access program, the SJSP welcomes
community members age 60 and over to audit its classes.
Thanks to private financial support from community members, the
program has been able to meet a variety of needs that include supporting
Hebrew language instruction, a requirement of the Jewish Studies major;
awarding the Hazel D. Cole Fellowship in Jewish Studies to an outstanding
pre- or post-doctoral student; providing academic scholarships and
travel grants to UW students focusing on Jewish Studies; and supporting
the development of new courses.
The program’s advisory board serves as liaison to the community, raises
funds to support the program’s critical needs, and encourages community
support of the SJSP.
