Get Involved
You don't have to be in the Cohn Jewish Student Center to be involved Jewishly on campus - there are four other diverse and welcoming Jewish student organizations on campus - Achoti, First Year Students of Hillel, Golden I, Hebros, and Ruach Queer Jewish Spirit. Scroll through this page to learn more about the unique Jewish communities on campus.
​
Opportunities to grow, learn, and connect are always available through programming, coffee meetings, and more. Hillel strives to create a campus community where 'being Jewish' exists in diverse spaces and meets the needs of as many students as possible.
