We are open for business! On Sunday October 10, 2021, Sapir, Israel largest public college, launched the new academic year. For the first time since the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic, classes will be taking place on campus based on the Ministry of Health's Tav Yarok − Green Pass guidelines.

Energized and excited to be back "live" on campus, Sapir students are experiencing a variety of festivities, including fairs with various pop-ups, food trucks and live music with leading Israeli artists. The College's Student Union made a huge effort to compensate for the past 18 months of restrictions, and is making every student feel at home.  
 
Once again you can feel the Sapir Spirit in the air, an expression of Israeli society at its best, students from diverse  backgrounds, coming together to celebrate the new academic year.
