Parents & Alumni

At Hillel, we recognize that families, caregivers, and alumni are vital members of our extended community. Your connection, support and involvement help shape the vibrant Jewish Life our students experience on campus.

We’re here to partner with you in supporting students as they navigate college life. Our community offers space to celebrate Jewish Holidays and Shabbat, build lasting friendships, and find care and support during challenging moments.

If you’re an alum looking to reconnect or a family member interested in staying involved we would love to welcome you to our growing network. Reach out any time to learn more about how you can stay connected.
