The class of 2023 is the last to have spent time in the Goldsmith Residence Hall, a place where many memories were made for many alumni.

In fall 2019, students moved into the new on-campus dorms that were part of the 21st Century Campus project. Students in the class of 2023 fondly recall quality time in Goldsmith with friends on comfy couches in the Moadon, playing board games on Shabbat, Friday night onegs, and List 101 sessions. As seniors Victoria Ardelean and Max Mezrow shared:

“Freshman year, the AEPi pledges were tasked with making pancakes for the brothers before Homecoming. The fire alarm went off as smoke filled the air. After the smoke cleared, we didn’t recognize the pledge who was cooking. They turned around, and lo and behold, it was no AEPi pledge: JTS Security Officer Colon was chef-ing up pancakes with us!”
