Explore Hillel of Western Washington University
Hillel of WWU is a dynamic social and cultural Associated Students€„¢ club that welcomes students attending all Whatcom County colleges, that supports individual exploration of Jewish identity and provides opportunities for leadership experiences. We are an inclusive community where all students, regardless of their religious or political perspectives, can learn about and celebrate all facets of the Jewish experience. We strive to build a bridge between students and the greater Bellingham Jewish community. On a typical week at our Hillel you can find students exploring beautiful Bellingham, eating bagels and schmoozing on campus at our weekly bagel brunch, and enjoying special events around the Jewish holidays.Undergraduate Enrollment
