Welcome to the 5th issue of CFHU’s JERUSALEM CALLING, a series of video reports from the 2019 Board of Governors (BOG) activities at Hebrew University.
This latest instalment features highlights from presentations by Honorary Doctorate recipients, Senator Linda Frum’s speech at HU’s tribute to those receiving honorary degrees this year, the 2019 Convocation, and CFHU’s annual dinner for Canadian supporters, students and other BOG attendees.
