Mission
THE MISSION OF GW HILLEL IS TO PROVIDE AN OPEN, WARM, AND PLURALISTIC ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH STUDENTS CAN SHAPE THEIR COLLEGE EXPERIENCE BY CONNECTING SOCIALLY, CULTURALLY, AND SPIRITUALLY TO THEIR JUDAISM. HILLEL AIMS TO FOSTER STUDENTS' PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND CREATIVITY BY FACILITATING WORK IN CULTURAL EVENTS, SPIRITUAL PRACTICES, AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. THROUGH SELF-REFLECTION AND EXPRESSION, STUDENTS AT HILLEL CAN FIND CONNECTION AND IDENTITY WITH THEIR JEWISHNESS, TAKING PART IN THE COLORFUL, UNFOLDING NARRATIVE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE. ULTIMATELY, THE GOAL OF GW HILLEL IS TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR THEIR ENTRY INTO THE WIDER WORLD WITH A STRONG, DEEPLY ROOTED JEWISH IDENTITY.
