Jacob Baime Icc manages a coalition that offers students practical help during their college years. As chief executive officer of the Israel on Campus Coalition since 2013, he oversees a network established in 2002. ICC includes more than 40 pro-Israel organizations and a professional staff. It serves pro-Israel students with different party affiliations and is open to Jewish and non-Jewish students alike.
One of ICC’s forms of assistance is direct funding for student activities. During the 2025-26 academic year, the coalition awarded 697 microgrants to students at 167 campuses. Staff engaged 316 campuses overall and conducted 362 visits. ICC also supported 255 students running for campus leadership positions, giving its work a role in student government and campus representation. The coalition uses year-round Regional Directors and a National Operations Center so that these students can access ongoing support.
Jacob’s organization also connects student voices with wider audiences. In 2025-26, students obtained 253 opinion and broadcast placements under their own names, and ICC channels received 2.97 billion impressions. To support communication, ICC uses national polling on messages about Israel. Its research, field, and digital teams work together, supported by Regional Directors and a 24/7 National Operations Center.
The National Leadership Summit is a separate opportunity for students and faculty to gather with partner organizations. In August 2026, more than 800 students attended at the Grand Hyatt Washington, alongside other guests, bringing total participation to more than 1,200. The theme was “American. Zionist. Proud.” Jacob concluded the event in conversation with Omer Shem Tov, a freed hostage. Speakers at the Summit also included public officials and writers, with participants representing different backgrounds within the pro-Israel community.
Jacob previously directed AIPAC’s field organizers and student training programs as National Field Director. He also served as an Area Director in New England. He has written opinion pieces and given interviews about the campus environment and online discussion.
