Dear Fellow Alumni,

We’re thrilled to write to you on this, our 50th anniversary year. The Zelikow School has greatly evolved both in its accomplishments as an educational institution as well as in training of professionals in the field of Jewish nonprofit management since it opened its doors in 1968. We are proud to be part of this amazing network of alumni and are grateful to the school for the role it has played in our lives and careers.

We are a community of 650+ alumni with global reach and impact. Anywhere you look in the Jewish community, you can find a Zschool alum who is doing great work. In celebration of 50 years, we asked alumni from across the five decades how their experience at the Zelikow School has impacted their lives and careers. Here’s what a few of them had to say:

“The Zelikow School was both a thought leader for the field and an anchor and guide star for young professionals like myself.”
– Lee Wunsch, Class of ’76

“It was at the Zelikow School that I learned how to seamlessly entwine Jewish values, leadership principles, and management know-how.”
- Or Mars, Class of ’95

“The skills I learned, particularly in fundraising and advocacy, have continued to serve me throughout my career.”
- Joy Sisisky, Class of ’00

“My ability to embrace the unknown and take risks started at the Zschool.”
- Julia Malkin Reger, Class of ’11

Many of us received generous scholarships to fund our educational experiences at the Zelikow School. So that the school can continue to train a new generation of professionals, please consider making a gift to the Zelikow School Alumni Scholarship Fund.

100% of our students receive at least some scholarship to help fund their education. Our annual need is about $250,000, and as our enrollment successfully grows, so too does the need for scholarship dollars. This year, we ask you to reach a little deeper to pay forward the experience you had that enabled your career.

It is clear the school has had a significant impact on its alumni. In celebration of our 50th year, we invite you to read this e-book that we have put together compiling these and other voices across our five decades.
