Campus Profile:Because the Jewish student body at the University of Akron is relatively small, Jewish students come to nearby Hillel at Kent State for most of their Shabbat and Jewish experiences. That said, Hillel at Kent State staff spends about ten hours a week on the Akron campus, helping to build Jewish community at the university.
