Mission Statement:

JAMBA (Jewish Association of MBAs) seeks to function as a resource to develop, inform, support, and enrich an active Jewish community on campus.  JAMBA organizes and promotes a variety of social and professional activities with the aim of building a strong network of future business leaders. We also wish to serve as an educational resource to the greater Simon chool community.

Goals:

The organization will serve multiple goals.  JAMBA will encourage student participation in Jewish events, build stronger ties among Jewish students and to Jewish organizations in the community, and foster a sense of commitment to Jewish values.  JAMBA will serve as a point of contact for prospective Jewish applicants to inform them about Jewish life in Simon and in the greater Rochester community. JAMBA will connect with Jewish alumni from Simon and maintain an active relationship with them, via networking and inviting them to Simon as guest speakers, for the benefit of the Simon community. Lastly, JAMBA will provide a platform to enable students from all backgrounds to learn more about the Jewish culture.

Partnerships:

JAMBA is part of the UJA Federation NYC Business School Initative (which includes Columbia, NYU, Baruch, Fordham). We also work with the University of Rochester Chabad and Hillel in planning events.
