While in Israel, they experience the biblical land, gain a deeper understanding of strategic and social issues facing Israel today, and examine the challenges and opportunities associated with being a supporter of the U.S.-Israel alliance. Adams is highly politically engaged, having run for a school board seat in his home district and has leadership roles in over half a dozen student organizations ranging over a variety of different causes. He believes that a strong American-Israel relationship is critical to ensuring the security and safety of both countries. Upon completing his undergraduate studies, Adams intends to attend law school, spend some time in the private sector, and become a public servant.
