Every year Illini Hillel gives two prestigious awards to graduating seniors that have been involved in Hillel during their whole career at the University of Illinois. We want to hear who YOU think should receive an award from the seniors graduating. Nominate a senior by filling out the form, and then a small group of staff members and students will come together to read all of the nominations.

Nominations are due December 1st and the winners will be announced at Shabbat Dinner on December 13th.
