President: Innessa Kipnis
Innessa (aka Inna) is orginially from both Ukraine and, more recently, Chicago. She is a Biology major and Women's Studies minor here at BC.

Co-Vice President: Daniel Berkowitz
	Dan: I don't really know what to put for the bio. I was born and raised in Aurora, Colorado right outside of Denver. I moved to Austin, Texas right after middle school and graduated from Akins High School in 2007. At Boston College I'm involved in Intramural Basketball, the BC College Bowl Trivia Team and the Fulton Debating Society in addition to being the Co-Vice-President of Hillel. In my spare time I like playing fantasy sports (specifically football and hockey), hanging out with friends, and watching all sorts of TV, but especially Food Network.

In his spare time, Leon enjoys playing ping pong with his friends, listening to the Beatles, and surfing Wikipedia.
Secretary: Jessie Hartman
	Jessie is so cool, she doesn't need a bio! But since she has to have one she feels that she must say she is from Chappaqua, New York. She is a junior in the college of Arts and Sciences with a double major in Philosophy and Psychology. She works in a psych ward which was the perfect preparation for dealing with the rest of Hillel.
Treasurer: Andrea Dropkin
Hi! My name is Andrea and I am the Treasurer for BC Hillel. I'm a Junior in the Caroll School of Management and I am from just around the corner in Newton, MA. My favorite color is yellow and I have been told that I have really bad taste in music. Please contact me if you have any questions!
Social and Cultural Chair: Sophie Silverberg
	Sophie is a junior with a double major in Early Childhood Education and Theare. She was born and raised in the greatest city in the world: New York. When she's not having fun with Hillel she is doing student teaching with a pre-K class in Boston. She loves Taylor Swift, musicals, chocolate and the colors pink, blue and purple.

Reslife Representative: Dave Lippman
Dave is an English and Philosophy double major from Rochester, New York. He can lift 200 lbs. over his head with incredible ease and served His Majesty with great honor until he went mad. He is also known to be very helpful towards lost dogs. He now spends much of his time working as an RA, writing nihilistic fiction, lifting heavy objects, and drinking tea.
