Daniel Cooper

Event Coordinator, daniel.moses.cooper@drexel.edu

I am currently a rising junior on campus in the Health Sciences program and have aspirations to become a physician assistant following undergraduate. My experiences with Hillel have really varied over the last couple years from going to Bar/Bat Mitzvah parties to learning events to classic Friday night Shabbat dinners. All the time I spend involved with Hillel tends to give back in different ways and it is so very rewarding to be serving the Jewish community. It is lovely to be surrounded by so much warmth and I am looking forward to seeing how Hillel changes and grows from now.

Micah Symons is a sophomore at Drexel co-majoring in Marketing and Organizational Management with a minor in Jewish Studies and enrollment in the Pennoni Honors College. When not doing schoolwork, Micah loves to cheer on his hometown Pittsburgh Pirates, Steelers, and Penguins. He hopes Hillel at Drexel University can be a place for all to find a connection with their Jewish identity.
