Josh Samet
Director, Hillel at CSU

When I'm not working with Hillel, I enjoy playing tennis, golf, softball as well as other activities.  I have a passion for Jewish summer camps, as I spent 11 years as a camper, CIT, counselor or administrator. I have a strong connection to the culture of Israel, have taught Israeli dancing and was a religious school teacher for over 10 years in synagogues in Denver & Boston.
