Student Board

The Student Board consists of the Executive Board, student interns and as many Student Representatives as would like to join this fun and dynamic board!  The board represents students from every class year and an array of Jewish and non-Jewish interests and backgrounds. If you have an idea or an opinion (and we know you do!), join the Student Board for lively, productive, innovative meetings. New time for next semester TBA.  All are welcome.
