Birthday Cookies!
Being away from your child for their birthday can be hard for any parent. Sending a little bit of love in the mail from Sweet Seidner’s Bake Shop (certified kosher) is easy! Our Hillel is excited to have a partnership with this delicious bakery so that you can celebrate your favorite Wolverine with a special birthday treat they are sure to love. Birthday packages are shipped directly to your student just before their birthday and can be sent any time of year to the address you provide. And, a percentage of each sale supports our Hillel.
Wolverine Family Events
As a complement to our summer orientations and tours, we will also be hosting “Welcome to Hillel Open House” days during move-in week. New and current Wolverines and their families are encouraged to drop into Hillel to meet with our staff and student leaders and have all of their questions answered, plus see our beautiful spaces to study, host group meetings, rest and relax, enjoy the outdoors, and more.
