The presence at the school of active pro-Israel groups -- including Tulane University for Israel and an AIPAC cadre -- fosters a positive campus attitude towards the Jewish state. Birthright trips led by student leaders attract dozens each year, and study-abroad programs -- in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv -- are available. In addition, Hillel and Chabad provide avenues for Jewish students and groups to engage with one another. Since 2012, Tulane Hillel has held a popular debate series called "The Big Issue," which gathers experts for lively discussions on critical matters of the day. Though a Students for Justice in Palestine chapter exists at the school, it has not been particularly active. (Photo credit: Wikipedia.)
