Kalix Jacobson
\nMajor: Business Administration
\nGraduation Year: 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPPAll-Star<\/a><\/p>\n

Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPP offers students over 100 student organizations representing general and academic interests, spiritual beliefs, cultural groups and more to keep students active and involved. <\/p>\n

Kalix Jacobson, a member of Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPPHillel, believes most students would benefit from joining an organization. <\/p>\n

\u201cI have found many friends through Hillel, and I have truly enjoyed my time on campus because of Hillel,\u201d says Jacobson, a business administration major who graduates this December. \u201cI would recommend anyone to join Hillel or other organizations because of the amazing people involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPPHillel serves the entire community and welcomes Jewish students and their friends to all programs. The group offers a full calendar of social, cultural and experiential education programs, as well as holiday celebrations that are open to all. It also offers opportunities for students to lead, learn and connect with other Jewish students on campus, which is important for Jacobson.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am involved with Hillel because I believe in the future of the Jewish people, educating
\nthose who are not Jewish, and providing a safe place to learn and be taught about Jewish
\nculture,\u201d says Jacobson. \u201cIt is so important for Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPPto offer diversity and inclusion groups because we as a student body are diverse and deserve to be included.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, she is an intern at Hillel and helps manage different activities and events on campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are planning to continue educating Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPPstudents about Judaism with our many programs,\u201d says Jacobson. <\/p>\n

Programs include the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵAPPSukkah, the Jewish Cultural Food Fests and Chocolate Seder.<\/p>\n
