On October 7th, The Sapir community suffered unbearable horror in Hamas’ brutal terrorist attack. Since then and in the subsequent war, over 30 students, alumni and staff, as well as a member of the board of trustees, along with dozens of their family members were murdered, injured, and/or kidnapped. In addition, around 1,500 students and staff living in Otef Yisrael (Gaza Envelope) were forced to evacuate their homes. Dispersed throughout the country, many have started to return to the region. However, some remain in temporary accommodation as their communities must be rebuilt.
 
The College is partnering with Minhelet Tekuma/Revival Authority to facilitate the rejuvenation of Sderot and neighboring communities in Otef Yisrael (Gaza Envelope) and the Western Negev.  Sapir is upgrading its current degree programs, to address local challenges and foster innovative solutions. As part of their ungraduated studies, students will join multidisciplinary teams to create entrepreneurial initiatives that contribute to regional rehabilitation and growth. Equally important, Sapir is committed to upgrading current classrooms with state-of-the-art technology and to renovate existing facilities to enhance students online and in-person learning experiences.
 
To meet the evolving needs of our students and local communities, Sapir is developing new degree programs in agritech, data science, engineering; and in collaboration with the Hebrew University's School of Medicine, the College is designing pre-med and para-medical degree programs. Classrooms and facilities will be upgraded with state-of-the-art technology to enhance online and in-person learning experiences. Working with the Sderot and Shaar Hanegev authorities, future plans include the expansion of the campus with an additional five new buildings on a 50,000 sqm plot across the highway, doubling our physical capacity.
