Having any savings rate when living on a graduate student stipend is a huge financial accomplishment. You are eager to make the best use of that limited flow of money, but you might be stuck in analysis paralysis. Should you save up cash? Should you pay down debt (even student loans)? Should you invest—and is that possible during graduate school? During this workshop, you will apply an eight-step framework to your own individual finances to identify your next singular financial goal and learn how to pursue it.

With emerging societal divisions and reshaped university policies on academic freedom, inclusivity, and dialogue, Jewish and Muslim students, faculty, and staff are facing increasing polarization, hostility, and institutional challenges. This symposium seeks to reframe these tensions by exploring the deep, intertwined histories of Jewish and Muslim communities—histories marked by both collaboration and conflict. By drawing on these shared pasts, we aim to develop strategies that foster inclusivity, combat racism, and reduce ethnic and religious intolerance in academic spaces.

The symposium will consist of four sessions that focus on Judeo-Muslim Entanglements in the Middle Ages; Jewish-Muslim Life in the Present; Interrogating Islamophobia, Anti-Semitism, and Anti-Blackness; and Zionism and the Christian Right. The papers presented in the symposium will be developed into short book chapters that will be published as an edited volume (anticipated as a contribution to the "Darom: Global Self-Perspectives in Jewish Studies" series at Wayne State University Press). The editors will be Mostafa Hussein, Bryan K. Roby, Adi Saleem, and Rebecca Wollenberg.

Common Understandings: Workshops are sessions focused on learning more about a particular topic and may be led by members of the Stamps community or external experts.

Each year, during National Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week, the Rackham Graduate School joins universities from across the country to host events designed to support and recognize graduate students.
