Julia Laibstain, who was named JNF Campus Fellow at Indiana University.
The Jewish National Fund (JNF) Campus Fellowship program creates a cadre of paid campus leaders across the United States who will represent JNF to the entire campus community. As a JNF representative, Julia will promote a positive view of Israel as a young, desert nation that is a global leader in renewable energy, agricultural innovation and medical breakthroughs that improve quality of life all over the world and make the world a better place. As a Fellow, she will plan Israel programs and be a conduit between the campus community and the JNF Israel Advocacy and Education department. Julia will represent JNF on Indiana University’s campus and at Israel events on campus. She will be responsible for planning and executing one Positively Israel program, a Tu B’Shevat Across Campus program and recruit a team at IU to participate in JNF’s Alternative Spring Break in Israel.
Julia is a sophomore at Indiana University majoring in non-profit management with a certificate in Jewish Studies. She will participate in JNF Campus Fellowship training at JNF’s National Conference in Los Angeles this month. She is the daughter of Jodi and David Laibstain.
