An Open Letter to the CSU Community
To My Fellow Cleveland State University Students,
My name is Hope Smith and I am the President of the Hillel here at CSU. Hillel is the Jewish student organization on campus. We aim to connect Jewish students to one another and provide different educational and holiday related events for both Jewish and non-Jewish students.
We are incredibly saddened that a non-affiliated member of the Cleveland State community has been seen on campus promoting false and hurtful comments towards members of the Middle Eastern community as well as other student identities. We understand that different staff members from the university have spoken to him before in an attempt to dissuade him from his actions; however, he refuses to listen. We, as both members of Hillel and fellow students of yours, feel it is our duty to help promote a peaceful and welcoming environment for all students on campus. We want to ensure that the CSU community knows that we, as individuals and a student organization, do not condone any words or actions that promote hate towards any population, community, or demographic on our campus.
We believe that everyone deserves to have a safe place on campus and should not have to tolerate such behaviors. Judaism teaches us to appreciate our community while aiming to enrich it. We strive to do this alongside all of our fellow student organizations, and I know that together we will not allow the actions of any one individual to damage our campus’s efforts to ensure CSU remains a welcoming and enriched community that celebrates our diversity while promoting collaboration and friendship. We are very grateful for all of our Middle Eastern classmates and want you to know that we are here for you and wish to work together to keep the Viking community a safe space for all students.
Should anyone have questions, please feel to reach out to myself at h.s.smith7@vikes.csuohio.edu or our advisor, Sarah Foster, at sfoster@clevelandhillel.org
Kindest Personal Regards,
Hope Smith
President, Hillel at Cleveland State University

All are welcome on Thursday, May 19, 2022 at 5:30pm for William M. Denihan - The Art of a Change Agent. This in-person event will be held in Levin College's Thomas F. Campbell, Ph.D. Exhibition Gallery. Bill Denihan served as a change agent during his long career in public service, serving the City of Cleveland (Public Service Director, Director of Public Safety, and acting Chief of Police); the State of Ohio (Director of Highway Safety the Ohio Highway Patrol and Bureau of Motor Vehicles); and for Cuyahoga County (Executive Director of Children and Family Services, Executive Director of the Mental Health Board, the CEO of the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board.)
A lesser-known part of Bill’s legacy is his passion for painting. A self-instructed artist, Bill paints with acrylics. He loves the quick drying time and the ability to use water to transform the medium-thin as watercolor -or thick as cement. His paintings are often part impressionistic part realism, and often capture his love of Cleveland- and the people that make it special. Join Levin College for an artistic reception highlighting the career of Bill Denihan and Showcasing a collection of his art.
