First Year Students at Hillel (FYSH)
Hillel has special programming just for first-year students so that they can get to know each other, Hillel, and UNC-Chapel Hill. First-years can also sign up to participate in the Big FYSH/Little FYSH program to be paired with an older student at Hillel to help them get accustomed to college life. Contact Mark Abadi or Molly Matthews.
