What's Happening On (and Off!) Campus?

A New Home for Jewish Students at the University of Illinois

UIUC Hillel is thrilled about their new home The Margie K. & Louis N. Cohen Center for Jewish Life Hillel on the UIUC campus. Since moving in this past January, more students are participating in Hillel events than ever before. Students come from diverse Jewish backgrounds, but work together on the student board and gather together at Hillel for events. They participate in educational programs, Shabbat dinners, High Holiday services and social justice activities.

The dedication ceremony took place on March 30, 2008 with more than 400 donors, alumni, and students attending the event!
