The OU's Jewish Learning Imitative on Campus (OU-JLIC) helps young men and women thrive and observe key aspects of Jewish life in secular campus environments across the United States, Canada and Israel. Ongoing learning and social opportunities, Shabbat and Holiday meals are core components of what OU-JLIC does on campus. Being there for students with personal and halachic advice as they go through their college years and plan for tomorrow is a meaningful way OU-JLIC Educators create lasting relationships with their students.
