On Friday night, Hillel holds Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox services, and there is a kosher dinner.  On Shabbat mornings, some students (Orthodox and non-Orthodox) walk to Bais Abraham, a nearby modern Orthodox synagogue.  In the past, the Conservative minyan organized Saturday morning services once a month.  Additionally, there are a few nearby Conservative and Reform synagogues (see “nearby synagogues” question).
