Student Life
Welcome to the Tulsa Hillel! We’re thrilled to have you as part of our close-knit Jewish student community. Hillel is where you’ll find friends who feel like family, a place to unwind after classes, and opportunities to explore your Jewish identity in a way that’s meaningful to you. Whether you’re joining us for Shabbat dinners, attending our events, or seeking a supportive space to talk and grow, Hillel is here to make your college experience both meaningful and fun.
We can’t wait to share this journey with you! Whether you’re a returning or new student, we’d love to get to know you and connect you with all the amazing opportunities our Hillel and university have to offer!

My name is Mori Kurland, and I am a student at the University of Tulsa majoring in Finance, International Business and Language, and Spanish. I'm excited to work for Hillel to expand Jewish student life in Oklahoma so that myself and other Jewish students always feel welcome and a sense of belonging at our universities. In addition to being a Hillel intern, I am also an officer of the Jewish Student and Cultural Association at TU, as well as a StandWithUs Emerson Fellow. I enjoy reading and snuggling with my dog, Percy, during my elusive downtime, but I have the most fun studying and eating with friends.
