THE DREAM TEAM

You've done it again!

Thanks to your support, Tel Aviv University set a new record for "brain gain" this year.

50 hand-picked researchers and scholars have joined the TAU faculty in fields ranging from life sciences to linguistics. That far outstrips last year's record crop of 34, and is significantly more than any other university in Israel.

They're the fruits of TAU's campus-wide 5-year plan to increase the faculty to 1,030 members. Through your generosity, the number now stands at 970. And with your ongoing help, 1,030 is within reach.

Please make a gift today. Help complete TAU's dream team of academic all-stars, and strengthen Israel's premier institution of higher learning.

YOU'RE REVERSING THE TIDE

You have my personal thanks for rising to the challenge that has threatened to undermine Israeli scholarship and innovation — the scourge of "brain drain."

With your support, many of this year's new recruits are returning to Israel from some of the world's most prestigious corporations and universities. Your generosity allows TAU to offer sophisticated research facilities and staff, competitive compensation, and job security.

These are the keys to cementing TAU's leadership in the global academic community.

I urge you to make a contribution to bring more highly sought-after young faculty home to TAU.

Have the deep personal satisfaction of knowing you're continuing to build an unparalleled academic dream team.

Sincerely,

William F. Cohen
