We’re blessed with students who take initiative, step up to the plate, roll up their sleeves and help out. It takes a lot to make meals for so many students, to set-up beforehand, and clean-up afterward, to shlep and shop and get things done. And students who invest time, talent and energy to make events successful or think up new events and programs. You know Goldilocks story? UAlbany’s Jewish community is large enough to have many Jewish programs and resources, but small enough for individuals to make a real difference with their contributions and dedication.

SERVE ON THE L’CHAIM STUDENT BOARD

The L’chaim Student Board is an SA funded recognized student group a team of students who work closely with Shabbos House. Executive positions are elected, general board positions are applied for and approved by Executive Board. All board members meet regularly to brainstorm and plan events, as well as prepare and execute – all work together, but some members have specific interests and availability.

The Hillel Student Board has elected positions and they plan, prepare and execute Hillel events. There is now also a Board of Great Danes for Israel

Serving in leadership positions helps our campus community, and is also an excellent personal growth opportunity for the student leaders themselves, as they assume responsibilities, grow into positions, learn teamwork and develop creativity and flexibility and allow talents and skills to blossom. Plus, it’s invested involvement in Jewish life!
