If you have a questions or would like to learn more about ways to support the Pete Eizen Memorial Fund, Please contact Nicole Caine at nsc56@drexel.edu or 215-895-6912.
The Peter Eizen ’00 Memorial Fund was created to honor Peter Eizen’s commitment to Jewish life and his passion for the AEPi fraternity.
Established as a part of the Drexel Hillel Endowment, the Peter Eizen ’00 Memorial Fund seeks to raise $360,000 to promote Jewish activities between Drexel Hillel and AEPi, support an annual Peter Eizen Memorial Shabbat Dinner at Hillel, and to more broadly grow and strengthen the Drexel Jewish community.
Through Drexel Hillel and AEPi’s collaboration, we hope to bring Peter’s spirit to life by nourishing and empowering AEPi and Jewish students here at Drexel. In doing so, we will secure a path for them to deepen their connection to Judaism, continue on their Jewish journeys, and flourish as leaders and members of their communities.
