STUDENT BOARD

Our Student Board is made up of passionate, talented student leaders who are committed to strengthening the UM Jewish community and enhancing Jewish life on campus. Working closely with UM Hillel staff, Student Board members help plan meaningful programs, events, and experiences for students throughout the year. The Student Board serves from January through December, with applications opening each November. All students are encouraged to apply, and there are many additional leadership opportunities available across every area of UM Hillel for those looking to get involved.
