Whether through scientific discovery, technological innovation, or pathbreaking scholarship, our faculty and students consistently further this mission, as evidenced by the following list of remarkable accomplishments. That they do so in a spirit of collaboration, and are driven by a desire to advance their state’s health, security, and prosperity, demonstrates that our University’s dual commitment to timeless Jewish values and academic excellence are a source not of tension, but of inspiration, and a catalyst for influence and productivity. It is therefore with the deepest pride that I congratulate the recipients of this year’s prestigious appointments, prizes, and awards. Message from the Rector Prof. Amnon Albeck
