Dear students, Welcome to the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya. IDC Herzliya is in the midst of its second decade of activity. Our path has not been an easy one – we led an academic revolution in Israel. In doing so, we did not seek government funding so that we would not be bound by the limitations imposed by “national planning” and be able to act freely on behalf of our students. At the same time, we created a non-profit organization that contributes to the public welfare. Over the years we have encountered hostility from the establishment more than once due to our innovative approach and our departure from accepted norms. Our motto of liberty and responsibility highlights our belief in the importance of taking responsibility for one’s own personal advancement, as well as for the weak and for society as a whole. The leadership demonstrated by our students is the reward for our efforts. Dozens of students’ initiatives have become IDC Herzliya treasures: the IDC Entrepreneurship Club; Kol Kore (A Voice is Calling); the IDC Berman-Lippa Family Foundation Debating Club; the sports teams; the community service activities, the Ensamble project; in Herzliya’s Yad Hatisha neighborhood; the Community Legal Assistance Program; the IDC Kav Hatohar; the Keren Or project; the students’ newspaper; the performing arts troupes; and more. The Student Union has been a training ground for excellent leadership; as an apolitical organization it has contributed greatly in recent years both in the area of mutual assistance and by improving various aspects of campus life in cooperation with the IDC Herzliya administration. Another initiative that demonstrates the spirit of IDC Herzliya is the summer camp our psychology students organized in the Galilee for children from the area within firing range of the Gaza Strip, including volunteering to serve as counselors and obtaining all the resources needed. That same spirit of contribution and initiative is alive and well today among IDC Herzliya’s thousands of alumni. The student body hails from all parts of Israel as well as from 60 countries around the globe and includes many alumni of elite Israeli security units, members of the Israeli-Ethiopian community, social activists from developing towns and underprivileged areas, youths from abroad and many other sectors. As the following pages demonstrate, in addition to the educational activities offered by IDC Herzliya’s excellent schools, you can enjoy many programs designed for your enrichment and pleasure, which at the same time aim to benefit society. I wish you a successful and enjoyable academic year. Yours, Prof. Uriel Reichman President 03 Opening
