Hillel's Mission

The mission of Hillel at the University of Connecticut is to enrich the lives of both undergraduate and graduate Jewish students so they may enrich the Jewish people and the world. Hillel actively seeks to engage uninvolved Jewish students on their own terms: to provide them with opportunities to do Jewish that are meaningful and enriching to them. Students are empowered to take responsibility for their Jewish identity, whether they wish to participate in a community service project, express themselves artistically, participate in a social event, engage in informal Jewish learning or attend religious services. Any student may participate in Hillel - no membership is required. Hillel is committed to a pluralistic vision of Judaism that embraces all movements.

Social activities include:

• Sporting events
• Israel programs, including Taglit Birthright Israel: Hillel trip
• Holiday and Shabbat programs.
• Professional networking opportunities
