Welcome Back, Huskies!! Your health and well-being remains our greatest priority.
All of our Hillel UW staff are fully vaccinated and we are so excited to welcome you back to campus!
Per King County’s new Covid-19 guidelines, beginning on Monday, October 25, all those 5 and older will be required to show proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test (taken within the past 72 hours) upon entering the Hillel building. We are still requiring everyone to wear a mask inside of our building unless you are actively eating or drinking. Masks will be provided for those who do not arrive with their own. If you cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons, please contact Amee.
All Hillel events will require pre-event registration for Covid-tracing purposes. Sign ups are online via our website for each event and can also be found on our IG LinkTree.
We continue to actively monitor the information and updates regarding the delta variant, Covid-19 and vaccine booster availability from several sources including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Our team members are working both in the building as well as continuing to have the option of working remotely as needed. We welcome you getting in touch with us!
We are continuing to monitor the University of Washington and the Washington State Department of Health websites as we plan our programming for the Fall. While there are still many uncertainties, one thing is for sure: we are doing our very best to offer you the vibrant, warm, and creative Jewish community that Hillel UW is known for!
Our amazing Hillel UW staff and student leadership board remains committed to developing innovative ways to connect with you, and for you to connect with each other, and are excited to welcome our new class of 2025 and returning UW students. If you are new to Hillel UW, please email us!
