‘Transformational’ gift will establish The Bloom School of Graduate Studies at UofH
UofH Board Chairman Bradley M. Bloom has made a generous donation to launch the Bloom School of Graduate Studies, a university-wide initiative for a select cohort of PhD and postdoctoral students. This exciting new chapter will establish a pioneering new academic structure in Israel acknowledging that no one discipline alone can resolve the entangled issues of contemporary society.
Prof. Irit Akirav (Head, School of Psychological Sciences) will serve as dean.
“Through programmatic innovation, increased financial resources and a new state-of-the-art learning space, UofH will attract an increased number of high-quality graduate students, provide an academic and programmatic platform in its multiversity model and create a space where others will want to join them over time.” – Bradley Bloom, Chairman of the Board of Governors
“The new Bloom School of Graduate Studies will serve as an academic magnet for students who are intellectually independent, driven by curiosity and willing to seek new horizons.” – President Ron Robin
