Responsibilities

One-on-one Engagement: You are first and foremost an engager. Meet graduate students on campus in order to build authentic relationships and to help connect students to friends, community, and experiences. You will build relationships with graduate students who are mostly un- or under-engaged in Jewish life or are seeking connections to Jewish life in ways that aren’t already offered

Community Partnerships: Design a diverse, accessible, and compelling set of Jewish experiences throughout the city and in our surrounding neighborhoods to bring Jewish life beyond Columbia’s campus and meaningfully connect Jewish graduate students to Jewish life, history, and opportunities throughout New York. You’ll do this through building relationships with Jewish community partners throughout the city and producing collaborative initiatives

Shabbat and Holidays: Elevate the Jewish experiences of students on campus by leading our efforts around Grad Network Shabbat (a monthly Shabbat dinner) and holiday experiences for graduate students. Empower students to create their own celebrations and experiences with your guidance

Jewish & Israel Education: Support and lead an arc of programs and educational opportunities that deepen graduate students’ engagement with big Jewish questions

Communication: Expand reach by maintaining and growing The Grad Network’s communication channels. Produce the weekly community newsletter, manage social media platforms, and share information with University communication systems
