About UVM

The University of Vermont combines faculty-student relationships most commonly found in a small liberal arts college with the resources of a major research institution. The university is home to 9,970 undergraduates, 1,317 graduate students, 454 medical students and 1,364 full- and part-time faculty. Located in Burlington, Vermont (perennially voted one of America's most exciting small cities), UVM's setting in a valley on the shores of Lake Champlain, between the Adirondack and the Green mountain ranges, inspires visitors and residents.

Hillel Information




Hillel Foundation


UVM Hillel serves an estimated 2,000 Jewish students at the University of Vermont.  As of April 2014, our staff and student interns have had meaningful interaction with 748 of these students seeking to inspire them to make and enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning, Israel, and public service.

WHAT WE DO

Hillel seeks to engage every Jewish university student, from those with strong Jewish backgrounds to those with none at all. They may take advantage of Hillel’s leadership opportunities, travel experiences,Israeleducation and advocacy, Jewish spiritual and intellectual enrichment, holiday services, volunteer and charitable projects, and more. By creating warm, supportive Jewish communities, Hillel encourages emerging adults to take ownership of their Jewish experience and define “Jewish” their own way. Success is gauged not only by the number of attendees at an event, but also by thecreationdepth and breadthof meaningful relationships and experiences.
