STUDENT TESTIMONIALSÌý
Ola Hasan, Student at Tel Aviv University
"Above all, I have gained a new perspective on my own culture by seeing it through the eyes of the Canadian students.â€
Samantha Loren, Student at HÂþ» University
"I have been fortunate to participate in similar programs across Canada and other parts of the world, but I can honestly say that this exchange was the most fulfilling, eye opening, and life changing one. Not only does it provide students opportunities to connect with influential business leaders from across the globe, or to see first hand the impacts of classroom learning on global economies, but it allows students to exchange ideas and opinions with colleagues a world away. I would encourage every university to explore the Israel Exchange Program, and furthermore, encourage every student to take full advantage of this amazing opportunity.â€
Carolyn Silver, Student at HÂþ» University
"Getting to know my Israeli friends and hear about their stories has given me a sense of pride in Israel and I share my experiences about the incredible beauty, business culture, and multiculturalism of Israel with my friends and co-workers. Israel is now a part of my heart and I will advocate for the small but mighty country when I am home in Canada.â€
