with an Israeli business called
Envisage, which does rebrand-
ing for high-end projects.
Rosenfeld researched the design
market, rebranded the compa-
ny’s LinkedIn and worked to get
Envisage featured in local design
magazines.
Students like Rosenfeld who
enroll in TAMID often work
with up to six or seven different
companies in Israel, building up
their resumes and getting real-
life experience in business and
consulting.
“Every semester, you get put
on a new project,
” Rosenfeld
explains. Still, students aren’t
simply placed. Israeli companies
pick and choose which students
are the right fit for their busi-
ness, adding another level of
competitiveness to the program
as applicants compete for open
positions with students across
other TAMID chapters nation-
wide.
Students studying finance can
also work in the “fund” sector of
TAMID, which includes a great-
er focus on stock pitches and
other finance-related matters.
MAKING WAVES WHILE
MAKING HISTORY
Now, as she gears up for her
fourth semester with TAMID,
Rosenfeld is also entering the
program as the first sophomore
president in the chapter’s his-
tory.
Her role will include oversee-
ing the GWU chapter, working
with TAMID national advisers,
and maintaining good stand-
ing and fundraising efforts on
behalf of the organization.
Rosenfeld is also working
on rewriting bylaws to make
TAMID clearer for new mem-
bers. “This semester, we redid
the entire education curriculum
for TAMID,
” she explains of
other recent efforts to make the
local program more accessible.
Overall, Rosenfeld recom-
mends TAMID to any busi-
ness-savvy college students
interested in working with other
cultures or those who are pas-
sionate about Israel.
While the ongoing Israel-
Hamas war has modified some
opportunities, many projects,
like the ones she’s undertaking,
haven’t been impacted by the
geopolitical events.
“Israelis in general are pow-
erhouses,
” she says, “which I
appreciate and admire. The way
they work is very to the point,
which in business is a great
quality.

to-day operations. Together, they
fundraise, hold ice cream socials
and create opportunities for
nursing students of all cohorts
and backgrounds to connect,
network and socialize.
Membership per semester

“I was so proud of myself and
the entire executive board that
believed in the same image,
”
Miller, a Hillel Day School
graduate and Detroit resident,
explains. “It’s been a really nice
experience to see people as
interested and passionate as I
am.
”
Still, nursing is no easy feat.
Outside of school and her
current job at Henry Ford
Hospital downtown as a nurse
extern, Miller spends her free
time volunteering at Eastern
Market and other local farmers’
markets around the city.
Gardening and working with
produce, she says, is a great way
to de-stress.
The warm-weather seasons
are also busy with hosting
and planning welcome back
barbecues and other events for
nursing students and fraternity
members, which Miller calls
“extremely gratifying.
”
“It’s so nice to see students
starting out in their program
excited to be able to join,
” Miller
says. “I see my nursing friends
on campus now and I say hi to
them and we give each other
hugs.
“There’s just much more of
a community now,
” she adds.
“Before, it was much more
homework-based and we would
do assignments together, but not
much else.
