Hillel, or the Jewish Student Union, is a cultural organization at Hood College. This organization focuses on educating members of the community about the Jewish culture beyond the religious aspects in order to achieve more appreciation and understanding for all members, regardless of religious affiliation. Current president Olivia Wolz, Class of 2013, has been involved with Hillel since her freshman year. “The reason I remain involved with Hillel is because of the opportunities to share my culture with others regardless of their background. I like learning about new cultures and I hope others would be too” said Wolz. Meetings are held on Tuesdays at 8P.M. in Rosenstock Rm.1. Students who want to get involved should contact Wolz at olw1@hood.edu.
Blazer Radio, the voice of Hood College, functions as a student media organization that hosts a variety of radio shows every week throughout the semester. The schedule can be found on the website under Campus Life, Student Activities, Blazer Radio and then Program Schedule. The schedule changes per semester along with the radio hosts depending on whether students choose to join or change up their style. The current station manager Jared Webb, Class of 2013, has his own radio show as well and for him “it’s a fun relaxing time for about an hour a week.” He began getting involved with this organization his freshman year and was even asked to play a larger role from past station manager. If anyone hopes to get involved in this organization, there are new DJ meetings at the beginning of each semester but students can also get in contact with Webb at jcw10@hood.edu
