Make your mark by joining Mizzou Hillel as the Director of Jewish Student Life. You’ll create meaningful impact through our Hillel by supporting efforts to connect people and resources to our mission. Jewish students at Mizzou are actively engaged in all aspects of campus life and you will have an opportunity to connect and work with students from diverse Jewish backgrounds as they explore both their individual Jewish identities and their connections to the broader Jewish and campus communities. As part of a small, three person staff you will have opportunities for personal and professional growth and development and to take your place as a Jewish professional leader in the community.
In addition to guiding students as they envision and implement both social and Jewish learning programming, you will also reach out to and engage un- and under-involved and new-to-campus Jewish students and work as a mentor for student leaders at Mizzou Hillel. Your genuine enthusiasm for creating an inviting place that inspires students to explore, experience, and create vibrant Jewish lives will allow you to succeed.
