Leadership Council
What is Hillel's leadership council?
The Leadership Council is the student governing body that ensures Hillel is running smoothly and efficiently.
The purpose of the Hillel Leadership Council, it to create a pluralistic environment that both welcomes and engages as many students as possible to explore and celebrate Judaism. During the semester, the leadership council will host town hall meetings where Micro-communities and students can gather and voice their accomplishments and concerns. A Micro-community could be a Registered Student Organization (RSO) or it could be a group of 8 students that share some common goal or identity.
