70 Years at 912 West State Street
1951-2021
This school year is our 70th in our current location. We intend to celebrate the whole year, so we are asking for pictures and memories. Please send in your pictures and memorials (email to hillel@purduehillel.org) and we will share them throughout the year in the newsletters and here on our webpage in honor of our 70th Anniversary year.
