Evan Moskowitz - Chabad.edu
I came to the University of Hartford three years ago with two goals. One – of couse – was doing well academically, while the other was finding friends. I asked myself, what would be a good way to meet people? There were many organizations to choose from on campus, so I joined a couple. I had fun in those clubs and I met a handful of friends with whom I am still friends today.
