PRESENTED BY: AJC SEATTLE
Student Human Relations Program
American Jewish Committee (AJC) is recognizing Seattle area students who have made significant contributions to intergroup relations at its annual Student Human Relations Program (SHRP) reception.
The program has two awards: the Max Block Awards and the Deborah Rosen Scholarships. Unlike other awards, the AJC Student Human Relations Awards are not based on academic or athletic performance, but seek to recognize those qualities that are seldom acknowledged: compassion, kindness, and respect for all people.
Date: May 10, 2012
Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Location: Mercer Island
