Elon pro-Israel organization brings former IDF soldiers to campus
A recently formed Elon University cultural organization called Israel Dialogue, Education and Advocacy (IDEA) brought two Israeli reservist soldiers to campus Friday through the national non-profit organization Stand With Us. IDEA, created by senior Maia Szulik, officially became an Elon cultural organization in November 2014. Szulik said the organization strives to foster dialogue, education and advocacy about Israel and the Middle East. “We want to offer a space on campus for healthy conversation on issues that may be controversial, and we also want to have events that highlight Israeli culture and life while clarifying many miscon- ceptions that people have on a very complex situation,” she said.
