Faculty Notes | Nancy Koppelman | 2024-2025

During the 2024-25 academic year Nancy Koppelman developed five lecture/workshops about antisemitism and other topics that pertain to the Jewish people designed to benefit higher education. She delivered them to thousands of faculty, administrators, and students across the country: to over four thousand new students in interfaith panels at Northwestern and George Washington; to 17 cohorts of staff and faculty at the University of California—San Francisco; and to administrators and faculty at Bellevue College, Bentley University, Harvard, Oglethorpe, Villanova, and Yale. Throughout the year Nancy also helped to run a comprehensive seminar series for 40 student affairs and DEI professionals, helping them to integrate an understanding of Jewish identity into their efforts to foster inclusion on their campuses. She gave presentations about her work at the annual NASPA conference in New Orleans, and at the annual conference of the Consortium of Innovative Environments in Learning (CIEL) in Salt Lake City. Nancy will be on leave through the 2025-26 academic year in order to continue to develop programming and work nationwide providing this educational content to students and fellow educators.
