WJC-supported Start Up Nation Mentorship program gathers for professional development retreat

Students from prestigious universities around the world leading the Start Up Nation Mentorship (SUNM) gathered in early October for a weekend retreat in New York City to cultivate strategies for bringing Israeli culture and values of innovation to their campuses. 

The WJC-supported Start-Up Nation Mentorship program pairs student leaders with prominent Israelis in industry and government with the aim of bridging global and cultural gaps. In the past year alone, over 150 college students were paired with Israeli mentors according to their individualized interests.
