Since its founding in 1998, the Center for Israel Studies (CIS) has established itself as a pioneer and a national leader in the field of Israel Studies. CIS looks beyond the Arab-Israeli conflict to present modern Israel's history, vibrant society and culture, multi-ethnic democracy, and complex geopolitical challenges. Each year the center presents dynamic, relevant, and thought-provoking programming about Israel for the wider community to enhance its academic offerings.
