The weekend of Jan. 11-12, a brand new 9,000 square foot Hillel was opened at Florida State University. FSU serves nearly 3,000 Jewish undergrads and this marks the second brand new Hillel facility to be inaugurated in the State of Florida in the past six months. Although it hasn't had an official "grand opening" yet, in August 2013 Central Florida Hillel opened a new 20,000-square-foot facility located at UCF to serve the 6,000 Jewish undergrads.
