Neil Goldsman, Ph.D. is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland and a High Technology Entrepreneur. He has also taught Middle East history for a religious organization. Dr. Goldsman has published more than two hundred peer-reviewed papers and holds numerous patents.

In addition, he will use his technical and entrepreneurial experience as a unique guide for proposing new solutions to the conflict.

Our Mission:

• We are working to educate and dispel misinformation about the Jewish Community and the State of Israel.
• We are also here to support and aid Jewish and Non-Jewish community members, especially students, who are victims of antisemitic, racial and religious harassment.
• We also promote free speech, so people’s voices are heard without fear of suppression or cancellation.

How We Work:

• We have a mailing list of community members that want to organize against antisemitism.
• We have regular meetings and social events.
• We reach out to government representatives to urge them to combat antisemitism.
• We have events, presentations and panels by experts to further educate the community.
• We work with other organizations that have similar concerns and goals.
