When Scarlett De Jean thinks back to her time at the Hebrew University, it’s the people that stand out most - classmates from around the world, conversations that sparked new ideas, and the feeling of being part of something meaningful. Since graduating with her MA in Conflict Research, Management and Resolution, Scarlett has built a career in entrepreneurship and consulting, and now works as a Project Manager at the U.S.-based tech company BlackLine. She's also deeply committed to creating opportunities for others, working with Israel-focused nonprofits to bring future non-Jewish leaders to experience Israel for themselves. Her advice to fellow alumni? “Connect with as many people as you can and explore as much of Hebrew University as possible" - these those connections and experiences often lead to meaningful opportunities.”

Amid the recent conflict with Iran, the University continued to host meaningful activities for our international students in protected spaces near the Student Village, from Shabbat dinners to movie nights. Many students participated, choosing connection and community during uncertain times.
“We are committed to the well-being and safety of international students, especially in difficult times,” said Gal Lombrozo, Director of HUJI's Office of Student Life. “Our goal is to provide a home away from home - offering delicious meals, fun and enriching events, and spaces that nurture connection, a sense of community, and belonging. We want our students to feel cared for and supported, and to walk away with meaningful and positive memories, no matter the circumstances.”
