Throughout its short history, Hebron University has endured
military occupation, closure, economic hardships
inherent in developing regions, unsteady financial
resources, repeated disruptions, and the difficulty of
maintaining staff and students throughout periods of
enforced closure and closure on the hands of the
Israelis. Despite these challenges, the University has
persevered and marched valiantly forward. The
University's survival and success demonstrate the
commitment of its staff, students, management, and the
community supporters.
It is hard to believe that the University has been able to
grow and develop in the face of so many challenges;
however, looking back at the University's short history,
there is clearly a reason to take pride in the progress
made. In 1971, the University was a small faculty
serving a total of 43 students. Today, the University
provides education for over 5334 students in 8
faculties.
The University continues to make its educational programs
relevant to social realities and needs. Its continued
expansion and advancement, reflects its commitment to
the students and to the community.
Living up to its mottoes that, "No student will be
deprived from education for financial reasons," HU has
committed itself to financially assist all
underprivileged students and to the search for solutions
for discrimination, economic deprivation, and other
forms of oppression. Also, HU maintains strong ties with
its Palestinian community and with other universities
Support for the University comes from numerous Palestinian,
Arab and International institutions or foundations as
well as from various individuals. Such support has
enabled the University to continuously expand and
develop.
Our plans for the future are no less ambitious than
those of the past:
-
Modernization in the field of technology.
-
Opening up new programs and modifying extending
existing programs to graduate level.
-
Constructing new buildings and enlarging the
inventory of the library.
-
The challenge of tomorrow will prove no less
demanding than the challenge of yesterday, but in an
institution forever committed to excellence, the
course is never easy.
