JGrads
Built for Grad Students
JGrads is dedicated to serving Jewish graduate students and professional students at UChicago. We build community through career-networking, happy hours, holiday celebrations, Jewish learning, service projects, Shabbat dinners, and speakers.
As a unifying body for Jewish graduate students, our committee is comprised of student liaisons from each school, who work together to envision, develop, and implement programs. JGrads is a division of Chabad Jewish Center at the University of Chicago & Hyde Park.
