Lauren Cohen Fisher, Advisor
Lauren Cohen Fisher is thrilled to be Colby’s Hillel advisor as well as one of the faculty members of the Jewish Studies Department, where she teaches classes about Israel and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Lauren joins Colby after years at Hillel International’s Center for Jewish and Israel Education. Lauren received her BA in Government and Creative Writing from Colby and her MA in Security/Diplomacy Studies from Tel Aviv University. She is over the moon to be back on Mayflower Hill. When not singing niggunim (Jewish wordless tunes) to herself as she lesson plans, Lauren can be found hiking, gathering community for Shabbat dinners, or mailing handwritten letters.
