3. Israeli Hope in Academia – An initiative of the President of Israel to establish a partnership between the four main sectors or “tribes" that make up Israeli society - secular, religious, Arab and ultra-Orthodox. The program works to promote quality integration of all sectors of society. Braude College is a full partner in the program and promotes the representation of the various population groups in academia while strengthening the academia-employment continuum. For example, the College holds departmental seminars in collaboration with high-tech companies such as Amdocs, Intel and Microsoft to encourage employment diversity.
