J Street U – J Street represents Americans, primarily but not exclusively Jewish, who support Israel and its desire for security as the Jewish homeland, as well as the right of the Palestinians to a sovereign state of their own – two states living side-by-side in peace and security. As the student wing of J Street, J Street U works on campus to promote dialogue about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, run engaging educational programming, and of course have some fun.

SHAZAM – SHAZAM at University of Maryland is committed to bringing a strong pro-Israel message to campus. We seek to inform the general student body about Israel and political and social issues that it currently faces by providing speakers from diverse backgrounds and expertise. We advocate for Israel both on campus and on Capitol Hill, and train students how to best support the Jewish state. We raise money for charities and celebrate Israel’s independence, achievements, people, and culture.
