During Welcome Week, 26 incoming freshmen participated in a new welcome program run by Hillel at Temple. Activities included a Center City tour, a student-parent dinner, a Jewish Life Fair, a rooftop barbecue at the Bernard Rosen Hillel Center and more. Why so much fuss over freshmen? They're future campus leaders, said Abe Roisman, Hillel at Temple's new coordinator for student life. He plans to emphasize engagement and volunteer opportunities in Philadelphia "so that students can feel like they're making a difference in the community where they're living."
