Recent Campus Initiatives Undertaken by AIPAC

A former senior resident director at Merrill Lynch, Harvey Bell has served as a financial advisor at a New Jersey-based Morgan Stanley office since 2015. Beyond his work, Harvey Bell is a member of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). 

One of the ways AIPAC works to promote the relationship between the United States and Israel is through its campus initiatives. In the fall of 2017, AIPAC orchestrated a variety of efforts to encourage a bipartisan consensus among members of the College Republican National Committee and College Democrats of America. AIPAC’s campus activists were tasked with holding regular meetings between leaders in both groups and recruiting delegations to attend the 2018 AIPAC Policy Conference. 

Another major nationwide campus initiative undertaken by AIPAC was the creation of a new recruitment strategy that targets politically minded upperclassmen. AIPAC also hosted political training workshops to educate new members. 

Moreover, AIPAC on Campus members were asked to prepare research-backed reports that detail how the United States' relationship with Israel positively affects their communities. Projects were shared with members of Congress through a variety of social media platforms by using the hashtag #israelinmystate.
