Reinharz brings a passion for providing opportunities for individuals, families, and foundations to support projects and beneficiaries in Israel and throughout the global Diaspora – experience that strongly aligns with University of Haifa's institutional mission.
Reinharz succeeds Lisa J. Silverman as CEO of ASUH at a time when the organization – amid University of Haifa's 50th anniversary in 2022-2023 – has embarked on an ambitious $150 million fundraising campaign to build infrastructure and expand research in the areas of equality, environment, health, and humanities, as well as the technology to maximize the University's impact on 21st century global challenges.
Home to 17,000 students, University of Haifa is uniquely interwoven with Mount Carmel, the city of Haifa, and the Mediterranean Sea. Working out of "living laboratories," the institution accesses and harnesses the talent and resources that extend beyond its immediate communities to study and implement global solutions.
