Students attending AIPAC conference
Two members of the Chadron State College Student Senate will attend the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Policy Conference in Washington, D.C., March 3-6.
Morgan Nelson of Norfolk, senate president, said she and student leaders from other colleges and universities were contacted by the AIPAC and presented an expense paid trip to the conference. She will be accompanied by fellow senate member Jacob Rissler of Gillette, Wyo., and Tena Cook, CSC director of admissions. Thousands are expected to attend the conference.
AIPAC describes itself as a 100,000-member grassroots movement of activists committed to ensuring Israel’s security and protecting American interests in the Middle East and around the world.
President Barack Obama is headlining a long list of national and world political leaders who are speaking at the event. Others include Benjamin Netanyahu, Shimon Peres, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, Newt Gingrich, Carl Levin, Joseph Lieberman and Johnny Isakson.
