It is rare for someone who is not an alumnus of Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµAPPto be recognized as \u201cVolunteer of the Year.\u201d But Paul Kravitz is one of those rare people. Paul first joined Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµAPPin 2008 as adjunct faculty in the John E. Simon School of Business. He became an active member of the Duchesne Society, chaired a new Jewish Advisory Council, and worked within the University to help establish a Hillel for Jewish students. <\/p>\n

Kravitz has facilitated new community partnerships and, most significantly, connected Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµAPPwith the international Maccabi games, which was hosted on campus in summer 2016 for more than 1,100 Jewish student-athletes. Kravitz has also introduced partnerships for the School of Business\u2014beginning with a new student internship program with Energizer, for which served as faculty lead in summer 2016. <\/p>\n
