Grilled Cheese and Game Night!

Our grilled cheese and game night was a huge success! We started our event by dropping off delicious grilled cheese sandwiches from Steve’s Grilled Cheese in Glassboro to all of our on campus members. Some of our members not living on campus even made their own grilled cheeses! After we ate, we all hopped on WebEx and played various rounds of scattergories, each with different categories!! We all had some great laughs! We hope to see everyone on the 25th for another amazing event!

“As a college student, spending money wisely is an important lesson that never stops being taught. Making sure you eat meals throughout the day can become costly, and you may have to preserve leftovers instead of just throwing them away. What a better opportunity to learn how to cook new meals with these leftovers than what Hillel offered at the Interfaith Center in Evergreen Hall.”
