Sep 11, 2006 -- Yeshiva University students are going places—literally, to newly renovated offices on both the Beren and Wilf campuses, to Maine to conduct marine research, and even to Turkey for Counterpoint programs through the Center for the Jewish Future.
High school seniors will get a chance to learn more about YU’s strong academic offerings and supportive Jewish atmosphere when the undergraduate schools open their doors to prospective students and their parents at two Open Houses this fall.
Men interested in studying at Yeshiva College and Sy Syms School of Business will attend an Open House at the Wilf Campus from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm on Sunday, November 12. The women’s Open House for Stern College for Women and Sy Syms School of Business will take place at the same time on Sunday, November 19, on the Beren Campus.
“Students who come here will find a community of scholars and intellectual role models in a dynamic Jewish atmosphere,” said David Srolovitz, PhD, Yeshiva College’s new dean and former chair of Princeton University’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. “I am excited to share my plans for upcoming developments at the college with visitors at the Open House.”
Visitors will also be able to meet Joel Hochman, JD, the new interim dean of Sy Syms, and Karen Bacon, PhD, the Dr. Monique C. Katz Dean of Stern.
Both programs will include sessions on academics, campus life, financing an education, career paths and planning, as well as the opportunity to meet and speak with faculty, students and successful alumni.
Students will be able to tour the campuses and see the latest changes for themselves, including the new dean’s offices at Stern and YC, new student lounges at Brookdale and Rubin Residence Halls, and Le Bistro, Stern’s food court and lounge with sushi bar and wireless Internet access.
YU is also about to start work on a new building at its Wilf Campus in Washington Heights. “We are breaking ground on the Jacob and Dreizel Glueck Center for Jewish Study on
