Rebecca Berger is a sophomore Nursing student who does research with the Pediatric Advanced Care Team at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and donates her time to various community service projects. She volunteers at Hillel’s weekly soup kitchen, helping to serve food to the guests and with Focus First, a group that screens preschool children throughout Philadelphia for vision problems. Through Tzedek, Hillel’s community service organization, she helps coordinate a volunteer program at Park Pleasant Nursing Home, where participants works on craft projects with the residents.

He’s a Wharton student and fashion designer, designing, producing and selling his own fashion lines: 3st (style for the Edgy Urbanite) and Exordium (Hand-painted, one of a kind, exclusive super skinny ties). He taught himself how to do technical fashion designs (using lecture slides from design schools he found on the internet), found manufacturers for his products, and is now selling and showing them locally and online. Essentially, he’s a baller.
