This was actually a few weeks ago. The UCs abroad program to Israel had been closed for the last 10 yrs, since the intifada, because it was seen as to dangerous. Thankfully, the suicide bombings and civilian attacks are no longer common. However, it was the new UC president Mark Yudof who opened the Israel program up, thanks Mark. So he came to Israel (supposedly on a furlough) and took one of his afternoons to visit the UC students. After some arguing with the administration I was allowed to attend the meeting, I'm the only UCSC student in Israel. I told him not to worry that I wasn't a Community Studies major and he would be safe if we took a picture. He asked me what I missed most and I told him Mexican food, he said the Bay Area didn't have any good mexican... I told him he was wrong.
