Happy Wednesday!
Thank you to everyone who came to our meeting this past Monday's meeting, where we collaborated with Jewish Leaders in Business to listen to Ada A, a Holocaust survivor, tell us her amazing and impactful story. As she mentioned, our generation is responsible for ridding our country of the hate it currently has so we can all live in peace. That being said, make it your own personal goal to make those who surround you feel welcomed and loved no matter what their background is. Do your part - it makes a difference!
If you would like to learn more about the Holocaust, join Jewish Leaders in Business or watch / read these recommendations from Ada: A Century of Ambivalence by Zvi Gitelman (Book) and Persona Non Grata (Movie).
Next Monday, December 6th, at 7pm in Isenberg 137 (Flavin Auditorium), we are having a Winter WiB meeting! Come join us for the last meeting of the semester to relax and destress before finals. We will be playing games, having hot chocolate, and doing other fun things! Let's have a kickoff to the holiday season and winter break!
