Office of the President

Our role as engineers is more important today than ever before. We can help our country and its people overcome this crisis, gather the strength needed to handle the challenges it will bring, and build a better future for all.

Afeka President addresses the current situation

In recent weeks, the State of Israel has been under harsh, murderous and inhuman attack.

These are troubled and difficult times that have roused a storm of emotions. Many Israelis, among them Afeka faculty and students, have been called upon to defend their country, in body and in spirit, whether on the front lines and on the home front. In the shadow of great bereavement, we have banded together – individuals, families, communities, the nation and our friends abroad – united as one.

While the country is at war, our armor is resilience. Resilience is an acquired state that begins with us as individuals, but quickly spreads to all those we influence. Our students, faculty, families, friends and partners in education and industry will all need to call upon resilience while boldly confronting situations and making decisions we never imagined we would face.
