A Message from the President
For the 2025–2026 Academic Year
The beginning of an academic year is always a moment of renewal, hope, and forward-looking perspective — even as this year, once again, opens in the shadow of ongoing national challenges.
As the newly appointed President of Afeka – Tel Aviv Academic College of Engineering, I believe in the power of engineering to shape reality, and in the ability of an academic community to generate enduring and meaningful impact on society. Afeka’s mission — to educate engineers who will lead and advance high-tech industries in Israel and across the globe — is a central pillar of our institutional vision.
