The Center for Judaic Studies and Contemporary Jewish Life is proud to be celebrating 36 years!

Save the Date!  Plans are underway for a celebration of an important milestone with the Center.  We'll be hosting a special program on November 15th from 3:30 - 5:30, followed by a reception, at the Dodd Building in the Konover Auditorium.

The event will consist of the following:
