The Union of Jewish Students of the United Kingdom and Ireland (UJS) was established in 1919, when it was known as the Inter-University Jewish Federation (IUJF). The organisation was renamed UJS in 1973 and currently represents a constituency of approximately 8,500 Jewish students, with somewhere between four and five thousand being members of its affiliated Jewish Societies (J-Socs) on individual campuses. It is an executive member of the World Union of Jewish Students (WUJS) and the European Union of Jewish Students (EUJS). The current President for the 2015/16 academic year is Hannah Brady. Hannah holds a BA from Kings College London and an MA from University College London. ==About UJS== UJS is a confederation of Jewish Societies (J-Socs) but also provides further opportunities for student engagement through our national programming. UJS full-time staff are recent graduates led by an elected President. The core values of UJS are: Cross-Communalism: They believe that UJS and J-Soc activities should be open to all Jewish students regardless of religious affiliation or denomination. Peer-leadership: They believe in empowering students to run their own programming for their peers. Representation: They believe that Jewish students should have their voices heard both locally and nationally. J-Soc committees and the UJS President are elected roles which consider the views of their members and in turn represent the views of Jewish students to the wider community. Engagement with Israel: They believe that Jewish students should have the support and space to explore their connection and relationship with Israel. UJS's work is divided into 5 areas: J-Socs: They currently provide training and funding for over 60 J-Socs situated around the country. UJS offers J-Socs this support in order to enhance their activities and Jewish student life on campus. Campaigns: UJS campaigns to defend its members' interests. They work with universities, NUS (National Union of Students) and the government to ensure that the needs of Jewish students are met and represented at every level. Careers and Networking: Members of UJS are offered the opportunity to participate in career networking events, master classes and a summer placement scheme. National Events: Each year UJS hosts and runs national events to bring together Jewish students from across the country. These include: JUEFA Cup football tournament, UJS training Summit, UJS Conference, UJS Student Awards, Shabbat UK and Jewniversity Challenge. Services: They work with universities to secure Jewish student accommodation and spaces for J-Soc activities as well as sourcing kosher food for students on campuses around the country. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Union of Jewish Students」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
