\u00b7 Create<\/strong>: Join the BU Jewish Leadership Team (BLT) \u2013 a cohort of 100+ student leaders that innovate and create diverse Jewish and student life offerings across Boston University. There is no right way to lead, and everyone is welcome to create experiences with Hillel.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Join<\/strong>: There are over 40 different initiatives and cohorts within the BLT. The BLT encompasses internships, fellowships, cohorts that program multiple times during the year, and students that want to throw just one or two events. You are welcome to join what already exists and become a leader in something current.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Attend<\/strong>: The programs\/events of the BLT are as vast and diverse as you can imagine in topic: food, art, music, Judaism, Israel, interfaith, exercise, sports, spirituality, ethics, and more. If you are unsure about leading, just show up at any event and see what\u2019s happening!<\/p>\n
