Jess Meyers

LEAD ENGAGEMENT INTERN
jessica.meyers@uconn.edu

Hi! My name is Jess and I am a junior, studying Communications. Becoming a part of the UConn Hillel community was one of the best decisions I could have made. The friends, experiences, and opportunities I have gained through Hillel are ones I am forever grateful for and I learn more and more about myself with every Hillel event I attend. I am so excited to be an engagement intern this year because it will allow me to show other students how amazing Hillel is and how it can make their college experiences that much better, as it did mine! The Hillel community is so welcoming and uplifting and I can't wait to introduce other UConn students to the incredible opportunities that Hillel holds.
