The challenge of managing a multicultural society, where there is a need to address everyone's needs, whether they are the majority or the minority, is not simple, particularly in higher education institutions.
Join the Hebrew University's Vice President for Strategy and Diversity, Professor Mona Khoury, as she speaks about the university’s proactive measures in fostering a diverse and inclusive campus. Mona will discuss the issues faced by the Hebrew University in responding to diverse populations and the strategies that help maintain a cohesive campus and promote co-existence during both routine times and times of crisis.
The event will showcase the University's commitment to inclusivity, harmony and tolerance within its diverse student body and present perspectives from its global partners, shedding light on how institutions worldwide are confronting similar challenges in building a shared society, especially against the backdrop of ongoing regional unrest.
In memory of Hebrew University Honorary Fellow Thea Zucker z"l
