Hillel at University of Delaware Info Session | |
|
As prospective students begin to narrow down their college choices, we want to ensure they and their families are fully informed about everything Hillel at University of Delaware has to offer. To help with this, we are hosting informational Zoom sessions to highlight our programming, including:
- Jewish life at UD
- Markell Freshman Fest, our early move-in program that helps incoming Jewish first-years connect with new friends and adjust to campus before the semester begins
- Exciting ways to get involved in unique opportunities to connect, grow, and lead through Hillel
Teens and families are invited to our MD, D.C., FL, & Southeastern US Regional Family Info Session:
Monday, January 27th, at 7:00 PM EST
