With a tribute to founding director Dr. Herbert Hochhauser
Kent State University’s Jewish Studies Program was founded in 1975 with a grant from the Jewish Services Center—Five Communities Board (Akron, Canton, Cleveland, Kent, and Youngstown). Since then, we have grown and furthered our mission by establishing:
- A minor in Jewish Studies
- Student scholarships and internships
- An annual bus trip to the Holocaust Museum in DC
- Poland and Israel study abroad programs
- Academic ties with Israel
- Midwest Jewish Studies Association Conference host
- Speaker series program for students and the greater community
