Message from Jessie Birnbaum,
WFU Rosenblatt Family Hillel
Student President 

Hi everyone — 

I hope you’re all doing well during this difficult time. I certainly miss seeing everyone and being together on campus! I hope you know that Hillel is here for you; please don’t hesitate to reach out if we can help in any way or if you have ideas for virtual events you want to see executed. We are working on creating virtual experiences for our community and hope to see you at those events! 

Can’t wait until we’re all together again in Winston-Salem :)
