Horowitz completes Baldwin Wallace University Summer Scholars program
Jonathan Horowitz, of Valencia, completed a personalized research project this past summer through the Baldwin Wallace University Summer Scholars program.
Horowitz, a graduate of SCVi, iLEAD’s founding school, is majoring in theater stage management and religion.
He was one of 12 students selected for the experience and worked on a project titled “Jewish Cleveland: History and Analysis.”
Horowitz said in a news release: “I am interviewing members of some of the oldest Jewish families in Cleveland and religious leaders to compile oral histories. I am also interviewing staff at the Jewish Education Center of Cleveland, which is responsible for developing educational materials that are distributed to various Hebrew schools in Cleveland. Using this research, combined with archival research from other relevant sources, I will write a paper that constructs an argument about the evolution of Judaism in Cleveland with an eye toward the education of Jewish youth.”
The BW Summer Scholars 10-week summer program offers participants housing and a $3,500 stipend to conduct a major research or creative project with a faculty mentor. Along with completing their project, Summer Scholars live together and engage in enrichment activities and field trips around Northeast Ohio to learn more about the landscape of research and creative work that fuels our local economy and culture. Baldwin Wallace University, founded in 1845, was one of the first colleges to admit students without regard to race or gender. The university is located in Berea, 12 miles from downtown Cleveland.
