The professor in this picture helped with many things. She helped me clearly decide on a thesis for my essay because before that I was deciding between a few. She also edited my essay and fixed some grammar mistakes. Tutoring is a great use this school and I think it definitely helped me get a better grade on that essay.

Start-up Tech

This image requires alt text, but the alt text is currently blank. Either add alt text or mark the image as decorative.I went to the start-up tech on Thursday that was organized through Hillel. The start-up companies all started in Israel. Israel has the most start-up per capita in the world. Over there I was able to network with people. I even gave out my resume to a few companies. Each company has there own cool ideas. I was fascinated to learn how each company was created, and what each company had to overcome in order to make it to where they are today.

Hillel

Hillel at Baruch helps the Jewish people of the school learn about Jewish people around the world. I went to there first official meeting where the quickly discussed each group in Hillel. There is Yofi which stands for youth organization for Israel. This was basically the student government of the whole group. BOSS which is basically for Russian Jews. Alpha Epsilon Pi which is the fraternity, and WINGS the all girl group and unofficially a sorority. There are two groups that focused more on the finance and economics accept which are First Lex Corp, and TAMID. Both of which I will try to join. Hillel seems like a really inclusive place and a place where I can make many friends. I’m excited to be apart of it.
