On September 22nd, Hillel Ontario and Stand With Us are offering in-person training for university students who want to become campus advocates. Learn how, when and where to engage and disengage. Get advice from legal, security, and campus professionals on building alliances and finding allies. Please share with the university students in your lives! They can register here.
