Hospitality Chair
Email:

Hey everyone! My name is Amy Lakin and I am from Durham, North Carolina. I am currently a freshman with a potential major in Psychology. All throughout high school I have been involved in my synagogue and USY. I participated in and led many activities from teaching Hebrew School classes, to being the USY Membership/Kadima chair in my senior year. However, my interest in Judaism has not stopped at the bettering of my community. Last year I participated in the Nativ program, which is a year-long course in Israel that allows everyone to explore not only Israel but themselves as well. Now, as your Hospitality chair I intend to take all these experiences and use them to my advantage to provide everyone with the best year possible. Thank you so much and I look forward to spending time with you!

Israel Chair

Hi! My name is Sarah Pollock. I’m a junior from Churchville, PA and a Biology major and English minor. When I am not attending Hillel events, I love dancing and also serve as a managing editor for Dispatch, F&M’s literary non-fiction magazine. I enjoy learning about Israel and its culture, so I am excited to serve as Israel Chair in the fall. I visited Israel for the first time one summer ago with several other students in Hillel through Birthright. It was an amazing experience and a great way to experience Israel from touring Tel Aviv to climbing Masada. I encourage other students to participate in Birthright and to contact me if they have any questions!
