About The Position

Make your mark on Jewish student life by joining Michigan State University Hillel as the Greek Life and IACT Coordinator. IACT Campus Program - IACT (Inspired, Active, Committed, Transformed) is an initiative that builds on the success of Taglit Birthright Israel by providing community, support, and inspiration to students before and after their trip. The Greek Life and IACT Coordinator will support students before and after their Taglit-Birthright Israel experiences, creating opportunities for them to stay engaged in Jewish life on campus. They will encourage students to take on leadership roles, participate in student-led Jewish programming, and connect with Israel-related opportunities both on and off campus. This role is more than just a job—it’s a chance to wake up each day (or at least most!) feeling genuinely excited and motivated to help students explore, experience, and build meaningful connections to Israel. This is so much more than your average 9-to-5. MSU Hillel is “the place to be” for more than 2,700 Jewish students at MSU. Students take ownership of Hillel as their Jewish community center on campus. Our mission is to enrich the lives of Jewish students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world. Together, we are building a new generation of Jewish leaders.
