In March 2016, SSI at Capital University passed a resolution in the Student Senate's 4th General Assembly in support of the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
Capital became the first university in Ohio to pass such a resolution, and notably did so on a campus without a significant Jewish presence, demonstrating that pro-Israel advocacy can succeed anywhere. The resolution marked SSI Capital as the 6th SSI chapter to pass legislation in its student body, and the first to do so in the spring of 2016 across North America. "What is especially amazing is that this resolution was passed unanimously, and not even a word of opposition was raised against it. Capital is the first university in Ohio to pass such a resolution, and what is even more remarkable is that it was done on a campus without any significant Jewish presence. Capital is in fact one of the nation's largest and oldest Lutheran universities, and this resolution proves that we can fight anti-Semitism and anti-Israel sentiments anywhere across the country." Austin R. | President, SSI at Capital University
