Student Highlight of the Month
Our student highlight of the month is... Our Jewish
Genetic Disease testing team. Shoshanah Rosen, of
Philadelphia, along with the
help of AEPhi sisters and the Hillel JUC social
justice committee brought in 187 students to be
tested for FREE for 9 Jewish genetic diseases on
Monday, Dec 4th. In this 1st year, the students
brought in more students to be tested that UPenn
(with a record of 182 after 3 years)! This program
was sponsored by the Victor Center for
Jewish Genetic Diseases at Albert Einstein Medical
Center in Philadelphia. This little known but
incredibly important testing brought awareness to
the entire campus community- Yashir Koach to the
women and men who made this happen!

Justin Jacobs campaigned hard to be the next Hillel
board president. Get to know the new Pitt board:
President Justin Jacobs (of Philadelphia), Executive VP
Michelle Henritzy (of Philadelphia), VPs
