Prospective Students
PARENT VISITS
Due to Covid-19, parents are encouraged to reach out for virtual visits in lieu of in person visits. Reach out to Operations Associate, Yoni Michanie at: yoni@northeasternhillel.org or with the staff member of your choice to schedule a time.
We're delighted that you're considering making Northeastern University your home for the next 5 years, and hope you'll come by the NEU Hillel house soon for a tour and visit with student leaders and staff.
NEU Hillel provides a welcoming, pluralistic Jewish community on campus that supports students in their transition to, and throughout, their university experience. We co-create action opportunities with students to explore and live their values, both on and off-campus. We offer Northeastern students opportunities to develop a meaningful relationship with Israel, including opportunities to study, volunteer, Coop, and tour in Israel.
