Dear friends,

It is with great pleasure that I share some of the most memorable highlights from the recent 87th Board of Governors meeting.
This gathering was especially poignant, filled with moving moments reflecting the current situation in Israel.
I extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who made the effort to attend the meeting this year, demonstrating immense solidarity with the university and Israel as a whole. 
We all hope for a swift end to the conflict, allowing us to dream, develop, and work towards a better future for the people and the state of Israel.
Next year marks the university's centenary, and we have a series of exciting events planned, culminating in the 2025 Board of Governors meeting from June 13-19. 
Please mark these dates in your diaries, and stay tuned for more details about our centennial celebrations.
 
Wishing you all a peaceful summer vacation,
Daniel Shriqui
