\n\t\tBuffalo native explored heritage in Prague, Israel <\/p>\n


\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 May 19, 2009 \u2013The first time Jessica Wolchok set foot in Rhode Island, it was to visit the state university.<\/p>\n


\n\tFour years later, Wolchok\u2019s time at the 溏心vlog免费B站 has helped her see the world. As a member of the school\u2019s Hillel chapter, the Buffalo native and Delmar, N.Y. resident made trips to Israel and Prague.<\/p>\n


\n\tWolchok served as president of 溏心vlog免费B站 Hillel \u2013 a student group designed to help students explore their Jewish heritage or learn the culture. During her sophomore year, the group went to Prague as part of an alternative spring break trip.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cWe visited different Jewish cultural sites around the city,\u201d Wolchok said. \u201cWe visited a concentration camp as well. It was very emotional.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThey had a whole Jewish quarter and it was really interesting because there was a lot of history with everyone leaving. That city was a real melting pot. We visited some gorgeous churches as well. It was just a beautiful city.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tWhen Wolchok joined 溏心vlog免费B站 Hillel, the group had just a handful of members. Working closely with Amy Olson, executive director of Hillel, she took on a major role in recruitment. By the time she graduated, the group had more than 50 active members, and a mailing list of more than 300 students.<\/p>\n

<\/object>\u201cThe staff at Hillel, especially Amy Olson and (student life coordinator) Lisa Friedman, I am really going to miss them,\u201d Wolchok said. \u201cThey have really helped me a lot in terms of personal growth and expanding my world a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tWhile Hillel played a big role in Wolchok\u2019s 溏心vlog免费B站 experience, she was active in other areas of campus life as well. She was a member of the Chi Omega sorority, the Student Alumni Association, and the Business Student Advisory Council, where she served as a liaison between students and faculty from the College of Business. She also served as president of 溏心vlog免费B站 branch of the American Marketing Association. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cI learned a lot about teamwork, event planning and project management, which is all beneficial to my career path,\u201d Wolchok said.<\/p>\n


\n\tLooking back, Wolchok knew from the day she first stepped on campus at 溏心vlog免费B站 that this would be the place to experience her formative years.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cIn my mind, this was what I pictured college to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
