On December 28, Prof. Shai Feldman, president of Sapir Academic College, joined the nationwide vaccination drive, receiving his own COVID-19 inoculation.

We look forward to seeing thousands of students and faculty returning to Sapir's campus and are eager to once again welcome our partners from Israel and around the world.”
