Today, the Brandeis Center announced its first intern class as it continues the ongoing expansion of its campaign against campus anti-Semitism. LDB President Kenneth L. Marcus welcomed the Brandeis Center’s first Civil Rights Law Clerk Nicole Galletta and its first Development Intern, Christina Gathman. A second Development Intern, Andrew Loeb, will join the Center next week.

Galletta and Gathman’s arrival follows the appointment of Danit Sibovits as LDB’s first staff attorney and Joshua Sol Brewster as LDB’s first Senior Civil Rights Legal Fellow. The Brandeis Center’s expansion reflects its burgeoning capacity to fight campus anti-Semitism through research, education and legal advocacy.

Kenneth L. Marcus commented, “These excellent students join us at an auspicious time, as we expand the Brandeis Center’s legal advocacy program to combat campus anti-Semitism at American colleges and universities. Nicole Galletta, Christina Gathman and Andrew Loeb all bring great talent, strong educational credentials, and considerable enthusiasm to the tasks at hand.”

Nicole Galletta is a second year law student at the University of Southern California’s Gould School of Law, where she serves as president of the USC Federalist Society and as a member of the executive board of the USC Review of Law and Social Justice.

Christina Gathman is a master’s student at the George Washington University’s Elliott School of International Affairs, focusing on International Human Rights and International Security Studies.

Andrew Loeb is an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor with a dual focus on political science and history.

With recent research showing that 40% or more of Jewish American college students have experienced or are aware of anti-Semitic incidents on their campuses, the importance of the Brandeis Center’s programs cannot be understated. Further legal expansion enhances the Brandeis Center’s role as a principal force in the fight against campus anti-Semitism.
