Explore Hillel at the University of South Carolina
Hillel at the University of South Carolina is your Jewish home away from home! We are a welcoming community where students can connect, celebrate, learn, lead, and grow throughout their college experience. From Shabbat dinners and holiday celebrations to leadership opportunities, social events, service projects, and educational programs, Hillel provides countless ways for students to explore their Jewish identity and build meaningful connections. We are excited to be opening our first dedicated Hillel House in Fall 2026. More than just a building, it will be a place where students can study, relax, gather with friends, celebrate Jewish life, and find support during both the highs and lows of college. The new space will also allow us to expand our programming, create more leadership opportunities, and strengthen our Jewish community on campus. Hillel at USC ensures every Jewish student has a place. Whether you're looking for lifelong friends, a Shabbat dinner, a leadership opportunity, or simply a comfortable place to be yourself, Hillel is here for you. Together with our students, alumni, parents, donors, and community partners, we are building an exciting future for Jewish life at USC.Undergraduate Enrollment
