Abstract
In 2009, the Summer Institute for Israel Studies (SIIS) conducted its sixth two‐week seminar at Brandeis University and Israel study tour. Again this year, research conducted on previous cohorts documents wide‐ranging success. The Institute has assured the presence on campuses of responsible academics able to enhance the study of Israel and raise the level of discourse about Israel. SIIS has expanded the number of course offerings on campuses across the United States and around the world, and its fellows have dramatically increased the number of students learning about Israel.
