In Hebrew, ruach means spirit, which means the Ruach Track is for outgoing students that want to be the first faces many new students connect with when they first arrive on campus and at Hillel. You are a natural host and find joy in intentionally welcoming folks into our community with warmth and excitement. You love tabling and shamelessly promoting your community, but also love to connect with others 1:1 over coffee or across the Shabbat dinner table. You’ll be responsible for managing tabling on campus, attendance at events, and coming up with engaging programming for new students. If you have spirit, energy, and a passion for engagement, this track is for you!
