Reflections from Hillel’s New Professionals Institute 2024

Campus Microcommunities Have a Big Impact

Students step onto college campuses every day to explore their identities, their communities, and to find new ways of expressing who they are. When I was a student at the University of Buffalo, I found ways to lift up the different parts of my own multi-faceted identity. I am Jewish. I grew up speaking Russian.
