Jason Max Feldman, originally from Atlanta, Georgia, is a freshman in CGS looking to transfer to the College of Communication. Although it is just his first year at Boston University, Jason is already immensely involved on campus with Greek life and a capella groups, and he definitely knows where he wants to go in life.
Jason’s current resume at BU is impressive to say the least. He is the philanthropy chair for the Sigma Chi fraternity (which raised over $20,000 last week for the Huntsman Cancer Institute) and Inter Fraternal Council Delegate. In addition to Greek life, Jason is a member of Kol Echad, BU’s co-ed Jewish a capella group, and was recently selected to be a CGS Dean’s host for next year. When asked what he does off-campus, Jason admits “Unfortunately, I’m too busy to have a job and really just focus on my on-campus affairs!”
While he’s all about hanging out with his brothers and raising money for other notable organizations such as Red Cross, Jason has enjoyed his classes at BU as well. His favorite professor so far is Professor Joellen Masters who taught his CGS Humanities course. “She’s an incredible knowledgeable woman who brings in a lot of different aspects to her class… she makes learning interesting and different; she makes me excited to go to class.”
After he graduates, Mr. Feldman looks to open and run a major PR firm, record label, and restaurant group. Yes, ladies, he’s going places! Jason recognizes that he has many interests and goals but one of his beliefs is that you must love what you do to be successful. Jason told HerCampus how he loves Boston, “except for the weather,” but is a southern boy at heart and wants to get back to Atlanta in a few years. “I was raised on southern comfort and hospitality. I miss the southern atmosphere, especially the food,” says Jason.
Before the year comes to a close, you can find Jason celebrating his first Marathon Monday with his friends and fraternity brothers or hanging out at Zaftigs, his favorite Jewish deli in Boston (where he likes Sunday brunch, hint hint!). This dynamic and approachable Campus Cutie will be spending his summer interning in Atlanta for Modern Luxury Media Company.
