Samantha Levy is from Evanston, Illinois, and is a rising junior majoring in Architecture and minoring in Jewish Studies. After graduation, she plans to pursue a graduate degree in Architecture and she aspires to blend her major of Architecture and minor of Jewish studies by designing synagogues or other Jewish religious sites.

Samantha believes it is of the utmost importance to be immersed in the Jewish community. During freshman year, Samantha joined the student board of Hillel where she is currently serving as the treasurer, was a WIZDM intern on campus, and she is currently a MASA campus fellow. During sophomore year, she joined the Hillel international Leadership Network, participated in the Hillel International Israel Insight Fellowship, joined the board of Illinois Students Supporting Israel, and was a founding member and is the current treasurer of Keeker, an Urban Planning Club with a focus on Judaism and Israel. In the upcoming year, Samantha plans on continuing to remain actively involved in the Jewish community on campus and hopes to join more Israel and Jewish clubs on campus.
