With nearly 3,000 Jewish students on campus, there is a tremendous breadth of interests and opportunities that can be pursued through Hillel. Whether your passions include Israel, the outdoors, social events, Jewish education, the arts, community service, Hillel can help you with all of this and even more.
Hillel at the University of Illinois is an accredited foundation of Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life.
The Cohen Center for Jewish Life could not function without the help and support of the Jewish United Fund.
