At GW Hillel, our mission is to provide the Jewish students of GW the tools they need to lead meaningful, vibrant Jewish lives. GW Hillel proudly serves more than 3,000 Jewish undergraduates and is one of the most active and rapidly growing Jewish campus communities in North America. We offer a wide array of opportunities for Jewish students of all backgrounds and interests to support their Jewish growth, placing innovation, creativity, and meaning at the forefront of our work. We are grateful that in July of 2021, we moved into our new home in the heart of downtown Washington, creating a hub for Jewish life at GW that is vibrant, warm, and welcoming.Undergraduate Enrollment
