Connect & Learn

A community-building, professional development series for Spertus students and alumni, professionals at Chicago Jewish organizations, and their guests.

Spertus Institute’s esteemed scholars and practitioners lead deep dives into topics ranging from Jewish wisdom to nonprofit management skills.

Participants gain skills they can apply immediately to their life and work—and they become part of a lively network of learners and community leaders.

Sessions are online, live, interactive, and collaborative. Each session includes time to connect, network, meet new colleagues, and strengthen relationships.
