Parents & Alumni

Welcome Parents!

It's almost as hard being the parent of a college student, as it is to be the student.

For 18 years you raised your child, imparting values, worrying about school and late nights. Now, your child is away, and you worry about your child's friends and choices.

The Trachten-Zachs Hillel House creates a Jewish community on campus to support your child. The majority of Jewish students attend our programs during their years at UConn. But whether or not he comes to services, whether or not she takes the free trip to Israel, whether or not he comes to our education programs or Jewish House of Pancakes, we are here. We advocate for Jewish students on campus and we create a community among Jewish students who become lifelong friends.

Please let us know if you are coming to visit or have any questions!

Welcome Alumni!

Since 1933, there has been a Hillel at UConn. Each decade has brought its changes, but each year Jewish life has grown. Now Jewish students from all over the Eastern seaboard comprise more than 10% of the student body.

Whether you graduated in 1930 or in 2000, we'd love to hear from you! We couldn't be the strong, vibrant Jewish community on campus that we are, if we weren't standing on the shoulders of those who came before. Write and tell us what you're doing now!

Support our students support Jewish life at the University of Connecticut!

Only 30% of our funding comes from the Jewish Federation or Hillel International. We rely on YOU to make this all happen.
