Student-Led Painting Night

IMG_0976

SDSU Hillel’s painting night was a great example of how Hillel is run by students!

Fresh out of an art class, Otis, SDSU class of 2021, spoke up at the beginning of the semester about how much he loves painting! The Hillel staff asked him if he would be interested in hosting a painting night to share his passion for art with others?

25 students later, the event was a big success!

Hillel is truly a space for the students to create programs for their peers based on what they are passionate about and this is an amazing example of that coming to fruition!
