FRESH FEST
Welcome Class of 2030!
Mazel tov and congratulations on your decision to attend UCF, Valencia, Full Sail or Seminole State, and welcome to the family!
Fresh Fest is our yearly new Jewish student orientation, hosted by Hillel and run by our student leaders. The goal of this program is to help Jewish students like you acclimate to college, especially with such a large campus like UCF. Fresh Fest was finally brought to us in 2019 after successful iterations of the program had been run at schools throughout the country over the last twenty years.
This year, FreshFest is going to be bigger than ever. We have 4 exciting days full of action-packed fun planned, and we cannot wait to welcome you! See below for a complete FreshFest itinerary.
