The Challenge Young people face a lifetime of rules prior to arriving on campus and the natural tendency is frequently to throw off that yoke, at times quite intensely. This often leads to an experience that is fraught with challenges, while clarity and direction are hard to come by — especially in a socioeconomic and political climate that is increasingly defjned by moral ambiguity and corruption . As society’s guides and educators we ask ourselves: How do we address the issues our students are facing? What can we provide so that they can experience independent critical thinking without losing their way? What can we do to ensure that the students of today receive the support and guidance they need to develop into the strong and proud leaders of tomorrow? 4 Chabad on Campus

The Approach Chabad believes in higher purpose. A Chabad House on campus organizes activities and programs, and serves as a family-like presence that grounds, inspires, and supports — a home away from home for students, and a hub for the campus community. The husband and wife teams who direct Chabad Houses on Campus are immersed in this work 24/7 . They are called “Emissaries,” as their commitment is forever and unconditional — it is not a career move, and there is no exit strategy. That’s why they build relationships that last forever. They are committed to helping young people explore their spirituality and develop their love for humanity without imposing more rules — by showing them a path of fulfjllment through personal meaning and joy , and through leading by example. They provide guidance and inspiration that fosters real growth and the realization of one’s potential. It is a path of self-empowerment that allows the individual to progress from one level of perfection to the next, constantly discovering new things about one’s self and one’s place in the world. The Chabad House provides opportunities for the holistic development and enhancement of the inner potential of individuals — intellectual, moral, emotional, physical, social, cultural, spiritual. It prepares students to become not only highly educated, but also accountable leaders with a sense of responsibility who will carry these values with them into their public and private lives. This is happening on the ground every day with tremendous success on 177 campuses worldwide. Investing in Our Future 5
