Description: Creators Track is for students that want to make Jewish experiences at Hillel fun, meaningful, relevant to today’s world and accessible for those don’t know what they’re all about. You want to get to the core of what it all means and build opportunities for our community to celebrate, learn and be together. Alongside the other participants of the Creators Track, you’ll own the production (and reinterpretation) of our Jewish experiences, including but not limited to Shabbatot, Jewish holidays, on-campus celebrations and exhibits. You’ll meet with your mentor one on one to get the development you need to grow.
