Our Story

 

Hillel at Miami University is the center for Jewish life on campus. We pride ourselves at being pluralistic and welcoming community. Throughout our over 50 year history, we have been committed to helping students take ownership over their Jewish lives and journeys. Our goal is to be a support to our students while also striving to reflect the growing world around us. We are here to provide support and resources for students to feel proud of their Jewish selves in whatever way they relate to their Judaism.
