Big awards at Hillel International, the largest Jewish campus organization in the world, that recently honored outstanding Hillel professionals and campus Hillel for their exemplary efforts in supporting Jewish students at colleges and universities during a year when students needed support more than ever before.
The awards in Boston Dec. 9-12 were presented during the 2024 Hillel International Global Assembly, an annual gathering of Hillel professionals from around the world. Among those recognized this year is Hillel of San Diego.
Hillel International awarded Hillel of San Diego with the Philip H. and Susan Rudd Cohen Outstanding Campus Award, for its achievements in empowering student leadership and making the most significant growth of impact engaging Jewish students within the entire Hillel movement.
In the past year, Hillel of San Diego has more than doubled the number of Jewish students participating in Jewish life across all four campuses: UC San Diego, San Diego State University, Cal State San Marcos, and University of San Diego. Hillel’s work tackling antisemitism on campus while continuing to foster Jewish pride and joy is a model across the entire Hillel movement.
“Hillel of San Diego has been a true leader in creating welcoming and inclusive spaces on campus for Jewish exploration and learning, and giving Jewish students the opportunity to thrive,” said Hillel International President and CEO Adam Lehman. “Hillel of San Diego has been core to the strength of Jewish students this year, and we are so proud of the work they are doing.”
Honored in front of more than 1,200 colleagues and supporters in the global Hillel community, the awardees were selected for their leadership and impact in advancing Hillel’s mission to enrich the lives of Jewish students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world.
Karen Parry, Hillel of San Diego Executive Director added, “Hillel continues to connect Jewish students to Jewish community, empower them to be leaders, and anchor their Jewish identity in joy. This award reflects our remarkable students supported by our remarkable Jewish community’s deep investment in the next generation. We are honored to serve as the hub of Jewish life on campus now and far into the future.”
