Over 50 students recently gathered for an evening barbecue run by FYSH (First Year Students at Hillel) and sponsored by University of Arizona Hillel.
Freshmen and older students came to the Hillel building on campus to enjoy free food and good company. FYSH leadership provided hot dogs and soda.
Jake Wilkenfeld-Mongillo, the Jewish Campus Service Corps Fellow at UA, said he was “psyched but skeptical” before the event because he was unsure how many new people would show up. However he said that “it’s awesome to see new faces” and said he was happy with the large turnout.
Laura Chinitz, one of the leaders of FYSH, said they have many more exciting events coming up, including Valentine’s bowling on February 13.
