Welcome Class of 2026!

We are so excited to welcome a new class of WaJews to our community in August. The BJC is here to make the transition to college simple, fun, and meaningful for families. Sign up for incoming student events, find a student mentor, connect with us on social media, and learn about the amazing students who will be helping you build community at UVA below!

Coming to UVA? Fill Out Our Get Connected Card

Wouldn't it be nice if your family could move your student into their dorm early? Avoiding lines, crowded parking lots, having more time to say goodbye? Wouldn't it be even nicer if you could start off your college experience with a group of close friends before Welcome Week events even begin?
We've got you covered.

Join us August 16th-18th 2022 for Camp WaJew!
The BJC is thrilled to be launching the first summer of "Camp WaJew" an early-move-in experience for incoming Jewish students at their families to UVA. Designed, organized, and led by current students, Camp WaJew offers families the opportunity to move into dorms early, followed by a two-night immersive experience for incoming students.

I'm interested in an early move-in option!

Chutzpals Mentorship Program

Chutzpals is a mentorship program that pairs first year students with second, third, and fourth years. We'll match you based on academic interests, social interests, background, and personality! Over the semester, you'll have a chance to attend ChutzPal group events with your mentor, schedule 1:1 bonding activities, and attend larger Hillel events together. 

Stay tuned to sign up for our 2026 cycle of Chutzpals!

Meet your First Year Engagement Interns

Wondering who will keep you up-to-date on all things Hillel? Great question.
Our first year engagement interns are here to help you connect with the Jewish community at UVA in any way you want! From 1:1 coffee dates to group activities and events, the First Year Engagement Interns have your back this year, and the relationships you build with them will last throughout college.
