Our Plan

Hillel strives to empower students by energizing and deepening the commitment of Jewish students already participating in the religion. Hillel seeks to engage students by developing multiple opportunities or entry points into Jewish life for unaffiliated Jewish students. To be successful, Hillel must create an environment of exciting programs that compel students to join the worldwide Jewish family.

Empowerment...

Hillel conducts market research to understand the needs of both active and inactive students. Students eager to be involved in Jewish life are empowered by Hillel with advanced resources and programs designed to enhance their Jewish identity. Empowerment students are furnished with leadership experiences and skills to build full Jewish lives on campus. They are groomed to become the next generation of Connecticut's Jewish leaders. Hillel obtains resources and scholarships to enable empowerment students to attend various Jewish events.

Engagement...

Hillel targets engagement students through engagment programming. Hillel draws these students into Jewish life with innovative and non-traditional activities. Engagement students are offered Jewish experiences in residence halls, fraternity and sorority houses, off campus apartment complexes, and other hot spots on campus.
