Union of Jewish Students

The Union of Jewish Students of the United Kingdom and Ireland (UJS) was established in 1919, when it was known as the Inter-University Jewish Federation (IUJF). The organisation was renamed UJS in 1973 and currently represents a constituency of approximately 8,500 Jewish students, with somewhere between four and five thousand being members of its affiliated Jewish Societies (J-Socs) on individual campuses. It is an executive member of the World Union of Jewish Students (WUJS) and the European Union of Jewish Students (EUJS). The current President for the 2015/16 academic year is Hannah Brady. Hannah holds a BA from King's College London and an MA from University College London. The President Elect is Josh Seitler, a final year student at The London School of Economics. He will take up the post in June 2016.
