Greetings from Our Chairman

BREAKING 100

How do you measure excellence?

For the thousands of universities around the world, the UK's Times World University Rankings offer a reliable, independent benchmark.

Last year, Tel Aviv University was ranked #151. This year -- #114! Quite a jump.

You made that leap forward possible. With your generous support, Tel Aviv University continues to redefine excellence. By any measure.

Now, as this year's annual campaign is closing, let's help TAU make the next breakthrough.

Help TAU be recognized as one of the top 100 universities in the world by making your donation for 2008-09 now.

It's as simple -- and as sophisticated -- as this: your support makes excellence possible.
