Capstone Projects

In an ever challenging reality, Argov students tackle the problems facing Israeli society and attempt to find real solutions. At the beginning of the academic year, students are given the task of finding new and innovative solutions to problems that they care about. Projects range from improving Israel’s image in international relations and in the UN to confronting social, educational and political complications.

Projects are presented at the end of the year at the Argov closing ceremony to a large audience including Reichman University faculty, family and friends. Certain projects have been or are in the process of being implemented.
