Should people need to drop out of the main/early move in retreat, we’ll contact students in order of the waitlist to confirm spots. Early move in for 2022 will be on Monday, August 22.
– FreshConnect is our “choose your own adventure” for getting plugged into the Jewish community on campus through 4 freshmen-focused programs. Fill out the form to be in the know about upcoming program registration info/dates, like for our annual First-Year Students Retreat (which we anticipate hosting at Hillel again this year pending the University’s approval).

Hillel Virtual Visits
We will be hosting Virtual Meet & Greets this year, several times throughout the summer. We are in the midst of planning for those now in terms of dates. If you miss your region’s Virtual Meet & Greets, no worries, it will be recorded and/or you can schedule a personal Zoom Chat too by filling out either of the inquiry forms listed at the top of this page.
