Welcome
San Luis Obispo Hillel offers you opportunities to explore and celebrate your Jewish identity, continuing your Jewish journey into adulthood. The passionate SLO Hillel staff place value in connections with each student and strives to offer a host of meaningful entry points into Jewish campus life. We are here to provide you with a strong Jewish community away from home. We look to inspire and excite students and make life a little smoother while you’re at college.
San Luis Obispo Hillel is the center-point of Jewish life at Cal Poly and San Luis Obispo Community. We provide a welcoming and supportive environment, so our students can be proud of and engaged with their Judaism. We raise awareness on campus of the significance of our Jewish heritage, values, and the state of Israel. Through Shabbat dinners, career-based and community-service programs, social and cultural events, and religious gatherings, SLO Hillel brings Jewish students and the community together to enrich lives.
Our Mission
Our Goals
Become more pluralistic and diverse though new programming, attracting students not currently active in Jewish life.
New events include hiking, music and bonfires, on-campus kosher BBQs, off-campus retreats, wellness activities, seminars and speakers and, dinners with other cultural and religious groups.
For ALL Cal Poly students to have Jewish relationships and at least one positive Israel engagement before they leave Cal Poly.
Increase the number of students attending Birthright, including a full bus of Cal Poly students together so they come back to campus not only with both a positive Israel experience, but also with life-long Cal Poly friends.
