Advisory Councils

Growth & Innovation Council

The newly formed Growth & Innovation Council meets twice per year and serves as an advisory board. The goal of the council is to engage with BU Hillel on the big questions regarding the future of the organization, specifically how to innovate to meet the changing needs of college students. The council is comprised of people with a variety of professional backgrounds and has a $1,000 minimum contribution to join. See members of the Growth and Innovation Council.

The BU Hillel Faculty Council advises Hillel staff on student and faculty concerns as issues arise throughout the academic year and serves as a liaison cohort to the University. The group meets three times per year (at the end of the fall and spring semesters and at the end of the summer). See members of the Faculty Council.

The Alumni Council serves as the primary networking and connecting body for BU Jewish alumni. Council members cultivate personal relationships with fellow alumni through regional and campus events and connect with current students for mentorship and networking opportunities. The minimum gift is a sliding scale based on years since graduation, with a minimum gift of $360 expected 10+ years post-graduation. See members of the Alumni Council.
