University of Arizona Hillel Freshfest

FreshFest is a pre-orientation program for incoming Freshman students at the University of Arizona. Students that sign up for FreshFest will have access to:

• Early Move In: Participants move into their residence halls on Sunday, August 16th, a few days before regular move-in.

• Two Days of Fun: Past programming has included a welcome breakfast for parents and families, a day trip to Bisbee, a S’mores bonfire, Jeep Tours, team building activities, and more!

• Connect with other Jewish College Students: Make Jewish friends on campus! Additionally, our upperclassmen counselors will include a diverse array of University of Arizona students who are extremely involved in the University of Arizona Hillel community. These student leaders are enthused to be a guide to campus life and look forward to building relationships with the upcoming class.

University of Arizona Hillel makes every effort to eliminate barriers to entry for our students. If you are in need of financial assistance to participate in FreshFest, please contact Kelsey Avni at ad@uahillel.org.

Refunds will not be available after July 1st, 2026. The final registration deadline is August 1st, or when we have reached capacity.
