Beverly Hills, CA

Reception for Harvey Krueger
Hosted by Carolynne and Ze'ev Drori

November 11, 2010

Long-time supporters of Tel Aviv University Carolynne and Ze'ev Drori opened their elegant Beverly Hills home to an intimate group of American Friends to welcome the newly-elected Chairman of TAU's Board of Governors, Harvey M. Krueger. Mrs. Drori serves on the Board of Governors.

Following a cocktail reception filled with irresistible hors d'oeuvres and lively conversation, AFTAU Chairman William Cohen introduced Mr. Krueger, the Vice Chairman of Barclays Capital, who spoke of his admiration for TAU and described the Governors' plans for its future.

Guest speaker Prof. Asher Susser, Director of External Affairs of TAU's Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies, shared his insider's analysis of current Middle Eastern geopolitics. The ensuing Q & A included questions by Israeli Consul General The Hon. Jacob Dayan, a Tel Aviv University graduate; Prof. Asher Tishler, Dean of TAU's Leon Recanati Graduate School of Business Administration; and Marshall Polk, secretary of AFTAU's Board of Directors and a member of TAU's Board of Governors.

Thanking their extremely gracious hosts, Mr. Krueger and Mr. Cohen presented the Droris with a cast replica of "Connections," a work by internationally acclaimed sculptor Varda Yoran, who received an honorary degree from TAU in 2004 — a meaningful end to a lovely evening.
