Project Yamim: Building YU’s Next Century

Yeshiva University

Shaping the Next Century of Torah and Scholarship

As Yeshiva University approaches its centennial, Project Yamim invites our community to dream boldly about the future of undergraduate education — where academic excellence and Torah values unite to inspire the next generation of leaders.

Our Guiding Questions

We begin with open inquiry and shared curiosity. Together, we will explore questions that reach to the heart of the YU experience:

How can we better integrate Torah values throughout the undergraduate journey, from the classroom to student life and beyond?
What new collaborations can help us foster a culture of curiosity, exploration and service?
How can we create a more seamless and cohesive student experience that supports independence and success?
How can we build campus programs that encourage deeper student involvement and community engagement?
What new pathways of study and professional development should we build to prepare our students for their careers and for lives of meaning and purpose?

Your Voice Matters

Help Shape the Future of YU

Project Yamim begins with listening. We invite every member of our community; students, faculty and staff to share your ideas, dreams and perspectives. Your insights will help guide Yeshiva University’s next century of growth.

Submit Your Thoughts Anonymously

Submissions will be reviewed by the Project Yamim team and will help inform focus groups and planning sessions.
