BCI, Brandeis Collegiate Institute, is an incredible 3 ½ week summer experiential Jewish education program for 18-26 year olds from around the world, located on our beautiful 3,000 acre campus in the hills just north of Los Angeles. It encourages participants to challenge themselves to grow spiritually and creatively through intensive arts workshops with professional artists-in-residence, outdoor activities such as organic gardening, hiking and camping; and dynamic Jewish learning with leading Jewish scholars and educators-in-residence. In addition, participants create a close-knit community with Jews from around the world.

As a Jewish student leader on your campus, BCI presents you with a unique opportunity to focus on yourself while empowering you as a Jewish leader and exposing you to an incredible, international community.

The dates for this summer are June 24-July 19, 2009.

Here are some key things to know about BCI this summer:

1)      College credit is now available for BCI!  You can receive a total of 6 transfer credits through the American Jewish University.

2)      Due to generous donors and scholarships, we are offering an EARLY BIRD SPECIAL.  BCI costs ONLY $250 for anyone who registers by March 20!

3)      Check out and share BCI’s new and improved website, which includes videos, music, and a link to the 2009 BCI Facebook group:  http://bci.ajula.edu

4)      Lastly, if you – as a Jewish student leader – refer/bring a friend to BCI, you will receive a FREE Flip Mino video camera!  Check it out at www.theflip.com. 

We’d love to see you at BCI this summer!  Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have – or with suggestions for students on your campus who you’d like to recommend. I’ll also be traveling to selected Soref campuses this winter.  If you’d like to invite me to you campus to meet with Jewish students and talk about BCI let me know!
