Tel Aviv University governors, friends, board members, and alumni gathered in Miami to celebrate the University and its contribution to the world and strengthening Israel.

Attendees enjoyed a weekend of content, speakers, seminars, and just the facts. Major General Amikam Norkin, the former commander of the Israeli Air Force was the keynote speaker and noted that “the advancements from Tel Aviv University contribute to the strength of the IDF.”

Among those who joined to talk about their research and share their work were Professor Dan Peer, Professor Vered Padler-Karavani, and Dr. Omri Bronstein; and alumni including Alon Aranya (who confirmed season three of Tehran!), Moran Cerf, David Scharia, and the Consul General of Israel in Florida Maor Elbaz-Starinsky.

TAU International and the Student Union of Tel Aviv University have crafted three countries’ worth of international weeks to enchant you throughout the year. Get ready for a trip of a lifetime, brought to our doorsteps of the University!

India is the next stop in our journey. One of the oldest civilizations in the world, India is a mosaic of multicultural experiences and now the world’s fastest growing major economy. This year marks 30 years of diplomatic relations between India and Israel, giving all the more reason to celebrate this vibrant and dynamic country.

The festivities will run between March 18th and March 24th all over campus, bringing a one-of-a-kind Indian experience to the university.

December’s German International Week made a tremendous impact on the entire institution, not only with the exciting events, but also with the furthered connections made with both country representatives and diverse student life. 

Tel Aviv University is tackling Internationalization throughout campus head on, putting the basis of our philosophy to the test. As such, TAUi, in collaboration with the Student Union, has organized spirited International Weeks throughout the year. Brazil International Week is another chapter we can’t wait for in this amazing international journey. 

This time, we’re “flying” to a country across the world with flip flops and carnival gear in tow: Brazil! From February 20th to 24th, Brazil International Week will be celebrated on campus with an unforgettable array of events! Keep reading to find out more about our Brazil Week plans!
