The mission of St. Louis Hillel at Washington University is to enrich the lives of Jewish undergraduate and graduate students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world.

Jewish Student Groups

The Jewish Student Union is a part of the Student Union (SU) at Washington University. Additionally, there are various other Jewish groups that are SU recognized and funded. St. Louis Hillel advises several of these groups, while others have affiliations with different departments/organizations on campus. You can get involved with any of the following groups by contacting them directly or reaching out to Hillel staff. The Student Union website has a complete directory of all student groups at Wash U (http://su.wustl.edu). If you have ideas for new Jewish groups on campus please contact us at rayna@stlouishillel.org or jessica@stlouishillel.org.
