How can first year students get involved in Hillel?
In addition to all the programs that Hillel offers which is geared to all the Jewish students on campus, there are specific programs just for first year students at Binghamton. The first way to get involved is participating in FreshFest. FreshFest is a retreat for freshmen and transfers to meet each other by moving in to dorms a day early and spending the night in a nearby Pennsylvania Camp. This allows the students to learn about the Jewish life at Binghamton and form bonds with the other Jewish students on campus. Also, throughout the year, there are FYSH (First Year Students of Hillel) programs such as Target and Friendlys and Apple Picking to get orientated to Binghamton.
