Student Leaders
Collin Field
President"TAMID stands at a unique intersection, connecting students who may have had little prior relation to Israel with one of the world’s most dynamic startup ecosystems. Our chapter has excelled across the board, embedding real-world application into every aspect of what we do, from the eight-week Fellowship in Israel to guest lectures and collaborations with Israeli founders and entrepreneurs. I’m proud to lead a team of devoted students who share a passion for professional development and a deep curiosity about Israel. "
Grant Turchin
Vice-President"Co-Founding TAMID has been a very meaningful experience. My goal was to give students the opportunity to learn about a new culture and gain hands-on business experience beyond the United States. Throughout my time with TAMID, it has been incredibly rewarding to watch students deepen their understanding of Israel and explore different business practices. TAMID at Gonzaga University has grown to become a community where I can connect with motivated peers and watch them grow professionally and personally."
Maci Saruwatari
Director of Consulting“To me, TAMID means community, growth, and impact. Holding a leadership position with Gonzaga’s Beta Chapter, I get the opportunity to see our members take ideas and turn them into real results. The skills that we have developed go far beyond our weekly meetings. TAMID has become a space where students grow professionally and personally constantly... and its fun!”
Tavian Bowen-Moore
Director of Education“TAMID is a place where I have built many different skills, including leadership, discipline, continuous learning, and many other skills. I’ve not only learned about but also taught about Israeli business culture and how they are so strong, constantly innovating and growing so many startups. During my time with this club, one of the greatest takeaways that I have is understanding that opportunities lead to more opportunities, so even if it may not be directly what you’re looking for, see what you can take away.”
Erin Beck
Director of Fundraising“ I would say that TAMID has been an opportunity for me to learn by doing rather than solely listening. At Gonzaga, there are a lot of clubs where you can listen to speakers, but Tamid gives you the opportunity to practice what you're learning about for real companies. I have learned so much about a new culture and was able to do so with dedicated peers! ”
Marcus Bathum
Director of Fund“Being a part of TAMID has shown me how like-minded individuals can collaborate to progress together. I've learned so much by teaching what knowledge I gained during my freshman year as a fi nance major. TAMID has given me so many great opportunities with a perfect mix of fun and professional development. Come check it out!”
Dev Patel
Head of Marketing"I was drawn to TAMID Group because I didn’t know much about Israeli culture or history and wanted to learn more. After joining, my understanding grew quickly as I worked on real projects with other motivated students, as well as interacting with the large alumni network. TAMID has given me a place to challenge myself, build meaningful skills, and be part of a community that supports growth."
