A radical change is coming to Hillel at Binghamton, Frank Bovenzi of Pipe Dream reports:

After a 5 1/2 year tenure as executive director of Hillel at Binghamton University, Gary Coleman will be leaving the organization he helped found to serve as the executive director of the Cleveland Hillel Foundation at the end of the semester. Coleman considers the transition from Hillel, a chapter of the national Hillel Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, bittersweet.
“[My feelings] are very mixed,” Coleman said. “I’ve enjoyed my years — we’ve been able to do a lot of innovative things.”
As the director of Hillel at Binghamton, Coleman, through programming and events, has been active at helping Jewish BU students identify and appreciate Jewish culture and traditions. Hillel provides students the opportunity to participate in social gatherings, community service activities, Israeli cultural and educational events and the observance of Jewish holidays.
“Hillel enables Jewish students to identify with their Jewish heritage,” he said.
Coleman has always held himself responsible for the students of Hillel and greatly encouraged student involvement in Hillel decision making.
“Anything that Gary Coleman thinks is a good idea is not a good idea until the students decide it’s a good idea,” Coleman said, describing the involvement of students in Hillel policy-making.

Coleman wanted to relocate to Cleveland primarily so his children could attend parochial school.
As executive director of Cleveland Hillel Foundation, he will be working with students from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland State, Kent State and Oberlin.
Hillel has yet to announce who its next director will be.
