Programs: Student program:we provide the space and facility for students to socialize, study, gain leadership skills and coordinate student-led program while on campus. We provide advisory support for various student groups each year and offer financial support for their programs. This includes social action programming, social programming, education programming, and skill building opportunities. Hillel provides nearly 400 programs and meetings each academic year. In addition, hillel serves as a watchdog to review, monitor and when necessary respond to issues related to campus climate and community relations issues. Jewish learning and holidays:provide services and meals, and programs related to jewish holidays. Includes staff time, materials and meals. For example, jewish high holidays on campus for 5,000 jewish students. These are conservative and reform style services and include pre and post holiday meals. All other jewish holidays during the academic year are celebrated, staffed and programmed in a similar manner. Shabbat holiday and meals:provide kosher meal program and festive holiday and shabbat meals to students throughout the academic year. We serve nearly 125 students on average for the weekly friday night shabbat dinner and provide food for events and activities of our student groups throughout the year.

We prepare meals for special events that are kosher on the campus and in the community. The cafe is a friendly neighborhood restaurant where students come to study and socialize. It is a key part of our program where students can gather and friendships can be made.
