There is no shortage of reactive conversation on campus—scrambles to respond, crash courses to explain and defend. Tikvah Campus Chapters aim higher. We study ideas not because they’re under attack, but because they have intrinsic worth: the sources of our civilization, the foundations of faith, liberty, and moral responsibility. We don’t just defend ideas—we advance them.
These intellectual engagement communities bring the Tikvah Collegiate Forum directly onto campus. At their core, chapters are discussion groups centered around great Western and great Jewish ideas; successful chapters evolve into social and professional networks of ambitious, like-minded students who join our national ranks.
These discussions are high-level, grounded in sources, and open to serious readers and thinkers. We know that not every student seeks this level of extracurricular study. Our goal is to supplement, not replace, existing campus discussion fora, forming a small circle of thoughtful peers who can reshape the larger campus culture by bringing depth and clarity back into its conversations.
