Alliance and Understanding Form

Fill out the form below to apply.

Alliance and Understanding (AU), is a program that explores the partnership between Blacks and Jews during the Civil Rights era. The goal of the program is to foster understanding between the two communities on campus and to educate the larger campus on Black and Jewish issues and on this important partnership in American history.

By becoming a member of Alliance and Understanding, participants will commit to:


  • Dialogue sessions during the Fall and Spring semesters.
  • Participating in an Alternative Spring Break trip exploring the civil rights movement.
  • All students contribute a small amount to the cost of the trip.
  • Must be available to travel March 4-12th, 2012.
  • Planning of programs on campus that promote understanding of difference and help educate the Penn community.
  • Making new and diverse friends!


This program is open to all interested Penn students. Knowledge of civil rights history is NOT necessary for participation in this program. All we ask is a genuine interest in the topic, a willingness to learn and a desire to meet and build new and unique relationships.

Please fill online application and refer all questions to Valerie DeCruz at 3708 Chestnut Street/6188.


Fall Application Deadline is Friday, October 7th, 2011
