S2E11. UConn Leaders: Avital Sutin, UConn Hillel President

The My First Year Story podcast welcomes our special guest Avital Sutin, the President of UConn Hillel. Avital’s authentic take on working smarter not harder has evolved with her through her leadership positions on campus, namely UConn Hillel. She discusses the value of connecting to and reflecting on her identity through the support she found in the Jewish community at UConn. This drives her to continue to be that resource for others as the leader of this identity-centered group. Avital also emphasizes the importance of self-care especially when being so busy whether it be going for a walk or stepping back from what she is doing for a couple of minutes to regroup. Taking a break to recharge allows her to give her best in everything she is involved with. Be sure to tune in to learn more about UConn Hillel and Avital’s experience at UConn!
