There's a lot of action on the East side of Charles Street and all of us on this side of the street (housing and dining, health and counseling centers, Center for Social Concern, Hillel, etc) created a really great t-shirt to entice students to cross the street and spend time with us. We'll be printing a map as well that will help new and prospective students find Hillel and our neighbors. Please stop by and pick up your FREE t-shirt anytime, and wear it with pride.
