How is Hillel connected to the University community?
Although Penn State Hillel is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and is fully accredited by Hillel International, we are an integral part of the larger Penn State community. Our dynamic programs reach many students, not just from the Jewish community. In fact, we regularly co-sponsor events with other student organizations. Our students are frequently active in other campus organizations, and Hillel as an organization has a role in other campus organizations. In turn, Penn State is very supportive of Hillel and our mission to provide a welcoming atmosphere for Jewish students, faculty, and staff.
