HillelFEST raises the critical resources needed to offer the kind of safe,
inclusive community that enables Jewish undergraduates and
Jconnectors (Jewish 20-30 somethings) to thrive.  

Inspiring over 1,400 participants annually, Hillel UW is a home-away-from-home for many.

Now, more than ever, we provide a space where personal growth is nurtured
and where Jewish identity is fostered. 

 

Amee Huppin Sherer's 10 Years of Inspiring
Leadership as Executive Director at Hillel UW

For 10 years, Amee Huppin Sherer has served as Hillel UW's Greenstein
Family Executive Director. During this time, she stewarded Jewish life at
the University of Washington and led one of Seattle's premier community organizations with intention, enthusiasm, compassion, knowledge, and unwavering commitment. Amee's smile and warmth have welcomed thousands through the front doors of the Karen Mayers Gamoran Family Center for Jewish Life. Each greeting authentic. No person a stranger. Her presence will be deeply missed when she retires at the end of this academic year.

This June marks the end of an era. And celebrate we must.

Our evening will focus on conversations and celebrations. Join us for an
extended cocktail hour followed by a high-impact program and dessert
celebration for all.
