June 13, 2023 — Tel Aviv

Lily Cohen, a student at Northwestern University, delivered remarks to the AJC Global Forum 2023 audience thanking American Jewish Committee for the AJC Sharon Greene Award for Campus Advocacy, and for its ongoing support. The award was established by the family of the late Sharon Greene to recognize college-based advocates who combat antisemitism while supporting Jewish life on campus.

Cohen, who proudly expressed her Jewish identity by speaking out against anti-Israel students, collaborated with fellow students and school officials to foster a more inclusive environment for Jews on campus.
