West Chester University is a vibrant campus, with over 17,000 students who are active in fraternity/sorority life, multicultural organizations, service learning, and athletics. About 400 of those students are Jewish. The university is less than one hour from Philadelphia and is the largest of the 14 universities in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. Surrounded by a quaint college town, WCU is a rapidly expanding university where many students study medical fields, education, business and finance, and the liberal arts. The student body is just as passionate about social justice as they are about going out and having a good time. The student body is very diverse with many students coming from low income families, or are first generation college students.

About Hillel International

In 1923, Rabbi Benjamin Frankel started Hillel with humble means, a noble mission and a breathtaking vision: to convey Jewish civilization to a new generation. Today, Hillel International continues to enrich the lives of Jewish students and is the largest Jewish campus organization in the world at nearly 1,000 colleges and universities across North America and around the world. As Hillel evolves as an organization, the mission remains steadfast: to create lasting connections with every Jewish student that foster an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning, and Israel and train them to become the next Jewish leaders.

Hillel is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an accepting and inclusive environment for all.
