Chabad on Campus Foundation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chabad on Campus Foundation is the college wing of the Chabad Lubavitch movement. It has branches on over 100 North American campuses, and serves an additional 150 campuses globally.[citation needed]
The Chabad on Campus National Foundation assists local Chabad Student Centers worldwide. This includes logistical support and staff training, as well as centralized programming such as national Shabbatons and student leadership retreats. The Foundation provides grants to encourage creative local programming.
In 2005, the Jewish Learning Institute paired with Chabad on Campus to create a series of intensive learning sessions under the name Sinai Scholars.
[edit] History
The first Chabad House was started on the UCLA campus in the 1960s.[citation needed] More recently the Foundation has gained George Rohr as a benefactor. Since 2001 the Chabad campus presence has tripled.[citation needed]
