UC Davis Launches Jewish Culture, Heritage, and Identity Association
An employee resource group dedicated to celebrating Jewish heritage, fostering community, and advancing cultural understanding at UC Davis.
Inclusive Excellence is pleased to announce the launch of the Jewish Culture, Heritage, and Identity Faculty and Staff Association (JCHAIFSA) at UC Davis.
JCHAIFSA fosters an inclusive and supportive environment dedicated to celebrating and advancing Jewish culture, heritage, and identity. Open to all UC Davis employees, the group provides opportunities for professional development, community engagement, and education that combat antisemitism, support cultural understanding, and build meaningful connections across campus.
"In times when conversations about antisemitism are so urgent, it is especially important that we create spaces to elevate the Jewish community, foster understanding, and honor the richness of Jewish culture and tradition at UC Davis, ” Christopher Nguyen Pheneger, Director of Strategic Partnerships & Community Engagement, Inclusive Excellence, said.
All UC Davis faculty and staff are invited to join and participate in JCHAIFSA’s programs, events, and community-building opportunities. Join the JCHAIFSA listserv to receive updates on events, initiatives, and opportunities to get involved.
