Penn State Hillel Parent Circle

Parents play an integral role in the building and sustaining of Jewish life for the 5,000 Jewish students on campus. We encourage our parents to get involved with Hillel by providing financial support for our programs, providing leadership for our parent and family activities, and helping Penn State Hillel connect with our supporting communities. A financial investment ensures that Penn State Hillel can continue to grow and inspire each unique student, and that each parent can stay connected to Jewish life in Happy Valley.

The Penn State Hillel Parent Circle is a dedicated group which supports the ongoing advancement of Penn State Hillel. PC members provide feedback, serve as ambassadors, and offer philanthropic support, both personally and through outreach to other stakeholders. Members share a common interest in strengthening Penn State Hillel and enhancing the Jewish student experience.
