To inspire every student to proudly embrace their Jewish journey, and to create an enduring connection to Jewish life and Israel.
Our passionate and driven students make Hillel everything it is. Alongside our talented group of professionals, student leaders help to plan and run all Hillel programming based on five pillars:
Fostering Jewish student growth, celebrating pluralistic Jewish holidays and Shabbat, and exploring rich traditions through memorable Jewish experiences.
Building strong, diverse, and inclusive Jewish communities on campus which help students understand their role in the community and give them a way to relate to the world.
Cultivating a passion and a sense of personal attachment to Israel and the Jewish diaspora through advocacy, education, and international travel.
Developing skills that help students become critical thinkers, motivate others, enhance a personal leadership philosophy, and understand their role in post-college community life.
Providing meaningful public service and inspiring students to address social justice issues creatively reflecting Jewish values.
