UNLV report

from John Winchester

The opportunity to hear the account of the Holocaust from one of its few remaining survivors is an opportunity that many don’t have and one I am thankful that I could participate in. On September 15, 2011 at The University of Nevada Las Vegas members of the student body and of the community came together to listen to Irving Roth’s tale of courage. The event took place on UNLV’s campus at the Richard Tam Alumni Center and served as the kick off for CUFI at UNLV’s fall semester. Irving was well received and left a strong impression on the audience that was made up of both Christians and Jews. Working together with Hillel at UNLV we were able to bring members of the Jewish student body out as well the Christian community. This event served as a great introduction for CUFI on campus at UNLV and helps us build momentum for the coming semester and accomplish our goal of changing the talk about Israel on our campus!
