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.

TUESDAY SCHMOOZEDAY
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 Bagel or Coffee, and it's on campus at Einstein's in the Student Union.
SHABBAT
Whether we are hosting Shabbat at The Hillel House, having a restaurant 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! Looking to find a Shabbat? Interested in hosting a Shabbat? Contact Hillel staff here!
