Incoming Students/Parents
WELCOME INCOMING STUDENTS!
Whether you’re a newcomer to campus or a current student seeking more information about Jewish life at OSU, you’ve come to the right place! We understand that the transition to college life can be daunting, and we’re committed to making it as seamless as possible. Hillel is a global organization that empowers Jewish students to create their own Jewish experiences. We are dedicated to promoting Jewish culture and traditions on campus, work closely to ensure that new students and parents not only feel engaged but also fully supported from the moment they arrive on campus.
WELCOME PARENTS!
Congratulations on having a university student in your family! We are thrilled to support your student on our campus, providing them with a welcoming and inclusive environment. Our Hillel staff regularly meets with students to discuss their needs and connect them with a variety of programs and groups.
We understand the challenges of being a parent of a college student. After years of preparation, you now trust in their choices and values. At Hillel, we strive to create a “home away from home” where students can find solace, grow, and embrace their unique Jewish identity.

Weekly Events to Look Forward to!
STARTING OFF SMART
This is an easy come and go event and a chance to meet other Hillel students. This is a favorite for most students because you get free Shake or Bowl, and it's on campus at the Student Union.
MONTHLY SHABBATS
Whether we are hosting Shabbat at an apartment, having a Hideaway Shabbat, or joining one of the synagogues in person or via zoom, there will always be an option for students to look forward to at the end of each week. We also like to partner with our other 4 campuses and host a larger scale Shabbat service in OKC! Interested in hosting a Shabbat? Contact Hillel staff here!
