Whether it’s been cold and snowy or wet<br />
and windy, our long winter has now yielded<br />
to spring, and <strong>AFHU</strong> <strong>News</strong> reflects the<br />
upcoming season of new hopes and new<br />
beginnings.<br />
This issue includes news of <strong>AFHU</strong>’s future<br />
and its recent past, with an introduction<br />
to participants in the second cohort of our<br />
highly successful LEAD program and a recap<br />
of the Palm Beach Scopus Award Gala, where<br />
CEO Emerita Beth McCoy was fêted. <strong>News</strong><br />
of alumni activities, recent missions to Paris<br />
and the UAE, new directions in dentistry,<br />
and the story of the struggles and progress<br />
of Iraqi Jews are included in our stories and<br />
donor profiles. Also included are introductions<br />
to some of <strong>AFHU</strong>’s newest staff and, of<br />
course, this issue brings you the latest<br />
updates on the innovations flowing from the<br />
Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s globally<br />
recognized research.<br />
Each issue of <strong>AFHU</strong> <strong>News</strong> reflects our<br />
commitment to the world-class academics<br />
and dynamic research found at HU, along<br />
with our support of the important role the<br />
university plays in Israeli society, a role that it<br />
has played since its founding nearly a century<br />
ago.We hope you enjoy this issue of <strong>AFHU</strong><br />
<strong>News</strong> and invite you to share it with friends.<br />
Thank you for your support of <strong>AFHU</strong> and<br />
for sharing our commitment to the Hebrew<br />
University. By working together with our<br />
dedicated partners at HU, we can help build<br />
a brighter future for Israel and a better<br />
tomorrow for people around the world.<br />
With best wishes,<br />
Joshua W. Rednik<br />
Chief Executive Officer
