Treasurer: Marissa Rosenberg
Marisa Rosenberg, Occupational Therapy '15, is originally from Painted Post, NY (just an hour south of IC). She has been an active member of Hillel since arriving at IC. Now, as Treasurer of Hillel, she is excited to become even more involved and take on this leadership role. Since the beginning, Marisa has tried to immerse herself in various organizations including the Squash Team, Skiing Club, and OT Club. Even before coming to Ithaca College, Jewish involvement has been a large aspect of life whether at boarding school, or at her home temple -- it was a natural fit, at IC Hillel. She is very excited to be on board and to make a great year for Hillel.
