Watch the evening’s events and listen to Rabbi Sacks’ teshuva drasha.

And what better way to end it than with a gift of LCM earbuds for each student (the better to review Rabbi Sacks’ recorded shiurim and be prepared) and grilling. Really, no Lander event would be complete without a bbq or pizza. But this time SGO surpassed themselves, combining the two with meat pizzas on the grill. Does life get any better than that?

About forty five students, faculty and administration attended the annual Lander College for Men (LCM) Freshman Orientation Hike at Fort Lee Historic Park by the George Washington Bridge.

With that event in addition to a week’s worth of lectures and labs now behind us, I think our transition from college to medical school is now complete. The lectures are fast-moving and densely packed with new and insightful information but we all feel that we were prepared well for this moment.

Milgraum, a resident of Edison, New Jersey, is the youngest of seven children. Of the six boys, four attended Lander College for Men.

“The Lander program has just what we were looking for: a solid college education that’s a pathway to a great future, and a Torah environment, as well,” Micha said.

Congratulations, Mendy! Mendy Friedman, who attends Yeshivas Ohr HaChaim during the day and LCM at night, recently placed 22nd out of 4,400 contenders in the William Lowell Putnam competition. He was the highest ranking contestant of any New York college participant.

Do you really need more of a reason to build a fire and have a bbq? Maybe a little kumsitz?

Approximately 50 residents attended the show wearing outfits and accessories donated by local boutiques and stores for men and women.

The LCM Alumni Council and the Student Government teamed up to run a series of dinners where students had the opportunity to pick the brains of successful alumni. The career advice is always helpful and the connections to those already working in an industry they’re interested in can be invaluable to their career. There were seven alumni dinners, each focusing on a different field: finance/accounting, dentistry, medicine, law, physical therapy, psychology and computers.

Jason Appleson's path to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) was anything but automatic. Born in Nashville, the 2008 Lander College for Men Finance grad moved to Cincinnati and then Chicago throughout his youth before finally arriving in NYC to attend Touro. All that transplantation to different territories, particularly as an Orthodox Jew, was “an interesting experience,” Appleson concedes.
