Dear Friends,
This is Queens College Hillel’s 70th Anniversary, and we have so much to
celebrate! Hillel has served tens of thousands of Jewish QC students over these
seven decades, and we’re more vibrant now than ever before.
Hillel International selected us from more than 550 campuses world-wide for
the prestigious Philip H. and Susan Rudd Cohen Outstanding Campus
Award for “engaging a vastly diverse Jewish student body in deep, thoughtful
and relevant ways and embodying pluralism and tolerance in the best tradition of
Hillel.” We are proud of what we have accomplished so far, and we are excited to
continue our partnership with you. Want to get involved? Contact
me at [email protected] or 718-793-2222.
Thank you for being part of the QC Hillel family! We look
forward to many “Outstanding” years to come.
Sincerely,
Uri Cohen
