Celebrating Resilience: 720 Afeka Engineering Graduates Poised To Boost Israel’s Postwar Recovery

The graduates began classes during the COVID-19 pandemic and finished during the war in Gaza, with 44% splitting their time between military service and studies, the highest ratio in Israel.

Last month, Afeka Academic College of Engineering’s largest-ever class held a graduation ceremony at the Menora Mivtachim Arena in Tel Aviv. In conversation with Afeka students and leaders at the event, the recurring topic of their innovative methodologies highlighted not just perseverance but also new possibilities for STEM higher education pedagogy.
