About Loyola U., Chicago

Although there is a small Jewish population, Hillel at Loyola is an integral and important part of campus life at Loyola University Chicago. Hillel sponsors some of the university`s major campuswide programs and is involved in many significant university events. Hillel has its own office, living room/lounge and kitchen within the University Ministry space, and its central location makes Hillel a hub of activity. The Hillel is very personal, and every Jewish student is valued and appreciated. That philosophy has resulted in the activism of the diverse Jewish student body at Loyola, where the 150 Jewish faculty and staff are also part of Jewish life at the university. There are usually several Hillel programs per week, and it is not unusual for Hillel programs to be among those selected for university recognition at the end of the year. The Hillel Director, Patti Ray, is also an adjunct university staff member, which provides important access for Hillel to the university community. Loyola University Jewish graduate and professional students are served on-campus by Hillel at Loyola, and Hillel offers information on resources for off-campus program opportunities for Jewish graduate and professional students.

Hillel Information




Hillel Foundation


"Metro Chicago Hillel is the center for Jewish life for college students at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU), Illinois Institute for Tehcnology (IIT), Loyola University, Depaul University, Roosevelt University, Columbia College and School of the Art Institute (SAIC.) Our campus and cross-campus programming contributes to the strength of our Jewish community and creates a welcoming environment for every student to embrace Jewish traditions while exploring their own Jewish identity. We inspire Jewish students to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life by serving the cultural, religious and social needs of our diverse community. We are dedicated to creating welcoming, pluralistic and inclusive Jewish communities both on and across the campuses. Through our programs, we reinforce Jewish expression and identity by pursuing tzedek (social justice) and tikkun olam (repairing the world), encouraging Jewish learning and celebration, supporting Israel and global Jewish peoplehood, and committing to excellence and innovation. We are building community for you to connect to other Jews and to forge ties that last a lifetime. "
