My name is Valentina Patino, recent graduate at Baruch College. Since I started college, Hillel accepted me as part of them when I met Ilya through the Student Veterans Association. At Hillel no one care about my religion or place of birth, they all opened their world and share their experiences with me. We traveled to Israel together, we ate, we party and spent many shabbats together! You will always be my Baruch family. Thank you for everything! 🇨🇴 💙🇮🇱

Hillel is a family that helped me grow, achieve my goals, and supported me along the way. Without them, I probably would have graduated, but I wouldn’t have had all the love and encouragement from the amazing friends and staff that I’ve connected within the last four years.
