On June 16, the university marked the dedication<br />
of the Bogen Family Department of Economics<br />
with a ceremony in honor of Roberta and Stanley<br />
Bogen. Over the years, the Bogens have been<br />
inspiring supporters of the department, funding<br />
lectureships, an endowed Chair, and numerous<br />
scholarships. The naming of the department is an<br />
affirmation of the couple’s longstanding and vital<br />
connection to the university and will enable the study<br />
of economics to flourish at HU for years to come.<br />

This year’s meeting witnessed the official launch<br />
of the 100 Legacies Bequest Campaign. Timed to<br />
coincide with the centenary of the opening of the<br />
university’s doors in 1925, the worldwide campaign<br />
seeks 100 of Hebrew University’s most dedicated<br />
supporters to become a part of the university’s<br />
future through a bequest intent of $1 million or more.<br />
The BOG also saw the completion of the first<br />
cohort of the <strong>AFHU</strong> LEAD program. The program<br />
is designed to prepare a cadre of dedicated <strong>AFHU</strong><br />
leaders to meet the opportunities and challenges<br />
of the 21st century. The return to an in-person<br />
event allowed HU to celebrate the contributions of<br />
noted friends of the university. Ceremonies were<br />
held for Honorary Doctorate recipients including<br />
filmmaker Quentin Tarantino as well as <strong>AFHU</strong><br />
supporters Stanley M. Bergman, Jose Mugrabi,<br />
and Joseph Neubauer. <strong>AFHU</strong> supporters among<br />
the newly named Honorary Fellows include Helen<br />
William J. Kilberg speaking on behalf of Honorary Fellowship<br />
recipients<br />

The 85th annual meeting of the Hebrew<br />

was a time to celebrate dedicated supporters<br />
of the university, meet new acquaintances,<br />
renew old friendships, and learn the latest<br />
HU news from the university’s leadership.
