Welcome, New Gators and Gator Families!
Allow us to be among the first to wish you a huge "mazel tov" on your acceptance to the University of Florida!
Throughout the summer, UF Hillel will be hosting virtual and in-person events to help you learn about UF's Jewish student experience, share opportunities to get involved before and when you get to Gainesville and provide connections for new Jewish Gators and their parents to meet each other.
Above all, we want to get to know you and be a resource to you as you get ready for your first year as a Gator.
If you are an incoming Jewish Gator or the parent of an incoming Jewish Gator, please share your contact information with the UF Hillel team by completing this form or clicking on the bottom below and we'll make sure you stay up to date on all opportunities for Jewish first-year students.
We can't wait to meet you!
Shalom Gator, Summer Sendoff Parties!
UF Hillel's newly launched Shalom Gator initiative seeks to provide information, community, and resources for prospective, admitted, and incoming Jewish Gators and their families.
Summer Sendoff Parties are hosted at the homes of current Gator families as regional welcome gatherings. These parties are fun and informal opportunities for new students and parents to meet each other, connect with current Gator families, get to know some of the UF Hillel staff, ask questions about campus life, and learn about UF's Jewish student community -- all before new Gators even arrive in Gainesville.
