Campus Profile:Jewish Life at UConn is showcasing on campus now more than ever. UConn Hillel provides students multiple entry points to the campus Jewish community. Besides offering a myriad of programs weekly, our newly renovated building is located at the heart of campus where we offer wireless internet, student study areas and computers, a game room with a pool table, air hockey and ping pong. There is also a big screen TV that students gather around on our comfy couches to pass the time in-between their classes and hang out with friends. From Jewish Rap-Reggae stars like Matisyahu to dynamic speakers, UCONN Hillel fosters open and pluralistic communities where students can explore the full spectrum of what it means to be Jewish in today's society.
