Hillel of Broward and Palm Beach reaches out to five different schools
1. Broward Community College BCC
2. Palm Beach Community College PBCC
Both these schools are small campuses with a tough population of students whose main interest is to attend classes and drive home. However, during Shabbat dinners, blue and white days on campus, the semi-formal and other large events a significant number of students attend.
3. Lynn University
This small, private university is unique in its student population consisting of two main groups learning disabled and athletes, a unique mix to target. They have their own Hillel group on campus under the guidance of Paula Hyman. I helped table with them to increase attendance and then on my own once a week to gain participation in multi-campus events. They refer to us as regional Hillel. The key is to find one student who will introduce you to others and work with you to promote on campus.
4. Nova Southeastern University
Majority of students are graduate students of Med, Law and allied health programs. These students have formed several groups including JAMS, JLSA, and JPSA. Katy works with the NSU students, tabling, bringing in guest lunch lecturers, Shabbats, YLD, AJC and other community events.
5. Florida Atlantic University
FAU was my main focus for targeting Jewish students. A majority of the campus is commuter with four residential houses and growing. Enrollment is approximately 24,000. FAU was founded in 1961. Nine fraternities and four sororities along with various student groups exist for students to get involved on and off campus.
