Explore Old Dominion University Hillel
Hillel at Old Dominion University is the heartbeat of Jewish student life on campus. With a variety of social activities, educational events, and holiday celebrations on campus and in the wider community, there is always an opportunity for students to get involved! In addition to having fun and creating friendships, we also support students' spiritual growth and wellness, promote leadership development, and empower students to make an impact on campus and in the world. We partner closely with ODU's Jewish Caucus, allowing students to connect with Jewish faculty and staff across campus for mentorship, as well as with ODU's Institute for Jewish Studies and Interfaith Understanding. We also participate in Birthright.
