Arab-Israeli leads the way at Hebrew University of Jerusalem – Professor Mona Khoury-Kassabri is the first Arab-Israeli to serve in such a senior position at an Israeli institution | The JC

She is the first Arab-Israeli to serve as a vice-president at Hebrew University — and self-described “optimist” Professor Mona Khoury-Kassabri sees hope for the future in the diverse community on the Jerusalem campus.
In an interview, she told the JC: “I don’t want students just to come and live near each other, I want them to know each other. We have the opportunity to bring people from different places that haven’t met in the past to meet together and to try to show the other that there is another person on the other end.”
