Meet Sammie, a Marketing major originally from Northbrook, Illinois, who is one of our amazing seniors graduating next week! 🎓 When Sammie transferred to the University of Iowa, she was searching for a place where she felt seen, heard, understood, and completely at home. Walking into the Hillel House for her first Shabbat dinner, she found exactly that. From that night forward, Sammie knew she had a home on campus where she belonged. This transformational experience inspired her to seek a career with Jewish nonprofit organizations in New York City, so she can help others find the same sense of meaning, confidence, and connection that Hillel gave her.
We’re so proud of Sammie and our other seniors as they graduate next weekend! Before midnight, please ensure that future students will continue to find the same sense of home, identity, and belonging that welcomed Sammie on that first Friday night.
