After joining the Boiling Point in his freshman year, Gilad got involved with the online and social media aspects of the paper, creating the post of Social Media Editor and becoming Deputy Web Editor-in-Chief as a sophomore. In that capacity, he helped lead the The Boiling Point to its first-ever NSPA Online Pacemaker Award and sixth consecutive CSPA Hybrid Gold Crown. He became Web Editor-in-Chief in his junior year and is continuing in that role in his senior year, continuing to redesign the site's appearance, update production practices and expand the Boiling Point’s online presence overall.

Aside from BP, Gilad spends his time on local golf courses, is involved in Shalhevet’s Israel advocacy club, sits on the bench of Fairness Committee chairs, and is president of the Astronomy club.
