Title: Understanding the Wellbeing of Jewish College Students
Abstract: The wellbeing of Jewish college students has become a matter of national interest, having been invoked in everything from Justice Department investigations, to frozen research grants, and updates to campus policies regarding student protests and prohibited conduct. However, surprisingly little research has been done to characterize the wellbeing of Jewish college students or to identify features of the campus atmosphere that contribute to their well-being. In this presentation, we describe the results of a large nationwide study we performed to begin filling these gaps in knowledge, with the goal of informing policies about dialogue on campus.

This event is part of the Fay Lomax Cook Fall 2025 Colloquium Series, where our researchers from around the University share their latest policy-relevant research.
Please note all colloquia this quarter will be held in-person only.
