UVM Hillel's Fresh Fest is a three day immersive early move-in program for first year Jewish students. This all-inclusive experience allows students to build connections with other incoming first-years, experienced Hillel student leaders, and our amazing Hillel staff. Students will share iconic Vermont summertime experiences such as kayaking on Lake Champlain, enjoying maple creemees, and exploring downtown together. We’ll provide delicious kosher-style Vermont meals in our newly renovated home at the center of campus.
