Over 1,000 students are on the Hillel mailing list, and hundreds of students participate in some Jewish activity on campus each week. Our current facility includes three historic buildings, and we expect to soon begin renovations and expansion to create an exciting, larger Hillel facility. Our location is symbolic of the centrality of Jewish life on campus. Other student groups, staff, and administration contact Hillel for advice and information, collaboration and co-sponsorship. In addition, Hillel as an institution plays an important role as an active voice on behalf of students.
Programming represents the entire spectrum of activities and interests.
Students are encouraged to become involve in existing projects and supported to create new committees and initiatives. Rabbi Alan Flam, our Executive Director, was ordained at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion.

Cynthia Weinger, our Program Director, was involved for many years in Jewish campus life, and is a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis.
