My name is Micah Skadron. I am a current third year studying Kinesiology on a pre-medical track, with a minor in Biology. I am originally from Charlottesville, and grew up amongst the small Jewish community here in town. Due to this, having the opportunity to immerse myself in the vibrant Jewish life on Grounds has been an exciting and fulfilling experience. I appreciate how cohesive the Jewish organizations at the University are and the space that they provide to engage with people of various backgrounds. Outside of classes, I run rescue with the Charlottesville-Albemarle Rescue Squad and work in the Exercise Physiology lab. In my free time, I enjoy exercising or spending time outdoors, cooking, and seeing friends and family. As a Jewish Studies fellow, I look forward to interacting with and learning from the experiences of other students and community members.
