UC San Diego Hillel is all about making the college experience exciting, meaningful and transformative for the hundreds of students we serve each year. Led by a dedicated team of educators and magic makers, our mission is to inspire every Jewish student to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning, and Israel. Our leadership incubator, Triton Jewish Leaders, is the platform through which we empower students to serve as change agents across the university, build Jewish life, grow connections with Israel, and pursue justice. Reaching dozens of students and investing in them as the heirs of the Jewish future, TJL allows students to serve as co-creators of student programming and initiatives. We are the home away from home for UC San Diego's 500 +Jewish students, with opportunities for Shabbat and holiday meals, Jewish learning and spiritual exploration, alternative break service trips and Israel travel opportunities.Undergraduate Enrollment
