In October, Sumaya Al-Mahiri will be making history by becoming the first UAE citizen to study in Israel. Sumaya has enrolled in the nursing program at the Cheryl Spencer Department of Nursing. President Ron Robin noted that this is an important step in building a warm relationship between our two countries. “We look forward to welcoming Sumaya to Haifa. When I was involved in establishing NYU Abu Dhabi more than a decade ago, I hoped students from the Emirates would one day choose to study in Israel. In the years to come, I believe that we will see more students coming to Israel to pursue a quality education combined with a unique learning experience.” <<MORE ON THIS STORY IN YNET (In Hebrew)>>
