| mu hillel student board |
 |
| The student board is actually very large, so while they do gather once per week prior to Shabbat, each position is responsible for a different aspect of Jewish life on campus individually, or with their co-chair. Officially, the student board is called “The Association of Jewish Students,” at least that is what they are known as by the Associated Student Government. The following is a list of board positions for the AJS Board and a brief description of their responsibilities. |
