Third Emerson Fellowship cohort launches

StandWithUs Australia has launched its third cohort of Emerson Fellows, bringing together 14 students from nine universities across the country.

The Emerson Fellowship is a global StandWithUs initiative that equips university students with the knowledge and skills to educate their peers about Israel, challenge antisemitism and respond to misinformation and hostility.

Now in its third year in Australia, the program is a yearlong initiative that combines education, advocacy training, mentoring and practical initiatives on campus and in the community.

This year’s fellows represent nine institutions and bring different academic backgrounds and campus experiences.

Over the course of the year, fellows participate in training delivered by StandWithUs educators and international experts. They study Israel’s history and contemporary issues, examine antisemitism and develop skills in communication, public engagement and advocacy.
