The past school year has been one of the most challenging our country has ever experienced. It literally began with the massacres of October 7th which resulted in countless deaths, including University students and graduates as well as family and friends of faculty members. Students and faculty were called into military service immediately and served for months on end. This past year was also marked by destruction across northern Israel. Over 70,000 residents of the North were evacuated and became refugees in their own country. When this war comes to an end, the rehabilitation process will begin and we will assist in reintegrating residents into their homes and communities. As President of the University of Haifa, I believe that it is incumbent upon us to play a pivotal role in this process. – President Gur Alroey
