| | | Congratulations on your acceptance to the University of Pennsylvania! New Student Orientation (NSO) represents the first steps of your dynamic four-year journey at Penn. Although you will be bombarded with new information about your school, fear not— Hillel is here to make the first couple of weeks easy and fun. No matter what type of Jew you are, Penn Hillel has a whole slew of NSO activities to help you take full advantage of Jewish life on campus. Come check it out (along with some hardcore competitive sports) during our Hillel NSO Field Day, or during the more subdued Chillel at Hillel. Or perhaps our giant Shabbat dinner is more your style, along with the good ‘ole Hillel Hoedown. What the Hillel, you can do it all!

As NSO Chairs, we’re here to make sure that your transition into Penn and its Jewish community is smooth and exciting. If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to give a shout out, don’t hesitate to write. And when you arrive on campus, we hope to see you— whether you’re dead set on being active in Jewish life, or just for the Hillel of it!
Your dedicated Hillel NSO Co-Chairs, Matt Amalfitano and Davida Shiff
