Announcements and Upcoming Events
WCU hires the first Director of Jewish Student Life at WCU
We are excited to announce that Jenn Reiss will be joining the Jewish Student Life team in early August! Jenn has spent her entire life living and working in the Philadelphia Jewish community. She developed her love of Judaism and community while attending Abrams Hebrew Academy from 1994-2004. Her first trip to Israel in 2004 sealed the deal and she's been hooked ever since! While attending Temple University, she interned with Jewish Family and Children's Service in Princeton, NJ, where she gained a passion for non-profit organizations. Jenn began her professional career as the Assistant Director of Habonim Dror Camp Galil. While she loved working in the Jewish camping community, she wanted to gain a background within the synagogue world. For the last 2 years, Jenn has served as the Youth Engagement Coordinator at Congregation Rodeph Shalom in Philadelphia, PA. Jenn's passion for Jewish life runs deep. She thrives on opportunities to engage and interact with people of all ages. She's thrilled to be joining the Hillel community and to grow and learn together with the West Chester University students.
