2023 HIllel student Board
Hillel’s core mission is to inspire every Jewish college student to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning and Israel. And with this vision, comes great responsibility. We encourage our students to take on leadership roles through other campus organizations and at Hillel through student board positions and internships. By helping them develop these leadership skills now, we are insuring our own strong and vibrant, collective Jewish future.
If you’re a student interested in learning what leadership opportunities are available at Hillel, please send an email to Alli at [email protected].

Shalom! My name is Jack Redfern and I am so excited to be serving as your Co-President of the Student Board. A little bit about me is that I am currently a third-year student at Marquette University double majoring in Secondary Education & Mathematics. Before coming to college, I was an active member at home in my local USY (United Synagogue Youth) region serving as our Membership/Kadima Vice President for the past two years. I am so excited for this year.
