The University of Haifa is extremely pleased to announce that the Tami Foundation (Steinmetz family) recently pledged NIS 5.5 million over a five- year period to support the University’s flagship Social Mobility Project. “The University of Haifa is the first university in Israel to define social mobility as a strategic objective,” noted President Ron Robin. “We are very grateful to the Tami Foundation for sharing this vision and partnering with us on this important initiative that will serve as a critical engine for strengthening Israeli society.” The Foundation’s gift will help promote inclusion and social mobility policies, programs and services – first, at the University of Haifa and then at Israeli universities and colleges throughout the country. The generous support from the Tami Foundation was secured through the Israeli Friends of the University of Haifa working in close cooperation with the Faculty of Social Welfare and Health Sciences, led by Prof. Roni Strier and his research team at the Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Poverty and Social Exclusion.
