UJS appoints new chair of trustees
Carolyn Bogush becomes first woman to lead the board, at organisation serving 9,000 Jewish students in higher education across the UK and Ireland
The Union of Jewish Students (UJS) has appointed Carolyn Bogush as its permanent chair of trustees, following her period serving in an interim capacity. She will also be the first female chair to lead the board.
With extensive experience in Jewish communal leadership, governance and strategy, including being a long-term trustee at UJS and co-chair of trustees for Limmud, Bogush assumed the temporary role when Daniel Dangoor stood down in October 2025 after two years in post.
Commenting on her appointment, she said: “UJS exists to represent, support and empower Jewish students, and that mission has never been more important,” adding she looked forward “to continuing to work alongside our fantastic student sabbatical officers, president, staff, trustees and partners to ensure UJS remains resilient, exciting and firmly student-led.”
The board of trustees thanked Dangoor for his leadership and contribution and expressed its confidence that Bogush’s appointment “provides continuity, experience and strategic clarity”.
