About Ohio Wesleyan
Ohio Wesleyan Hillel offers opportunities for Jewish students to celebrate their religious and cultural heritage. Although OWU is a Methodist chartered school, we have a very diverse student body - in terms of religion and nationality. Jewish students are encouraged to add to the color of the campus by participating in Jewish Life activities and sharing these experiences with other students.
