College-Institute Leadership
We are "One HUC” in four cities on two continents. Our leadership – HUC’s President, President’s Cabinet, and Board of Governors – work with dedicated faculty, staff, and alumni to sustain Reform Judaism's ideological foundations and shape our increasingly diverse and changing Jewish communities.
President Andrew Rehfeld, Ph.D.
Andrew Rehfeld, Ph.D. is the 10th President of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR).
