Since opening its doors in 1924, the Technion has helped build Israel, safeguard its citizens, and prepare for the future. To commemorate a century of dreams dreamed — and often fulfilled — the American Technion Society (ATS) held events across the nation recognizing Technion achievements and ATS donors whose philanthropic fingerprints are on buildings, laboratories, and programs throughout campus. “Each of you in his own individual way is determining the development of this University,” said President Professor Uri Sivan during an event on April 9 in New York City. “Without your support, none of this would have been possible.” While…
Ten days after the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War in 1973, Stephen B. Klein visited Israel with his father, Raymond, and his brother, Warren. They spent the first day in the field, escorted by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and later visited a hospital to talk with wounded soldiers. “I walked into a room and there was a young man who had lost his leg above the knee,” Klein recalled. “We were similar in age and profession. He was an accountant, and I was a businessman. We both had kids. I realized I could have been in that bed….
After three decades working as a psychiatrist, Irene Kitzman enjoys spending her semiretirement behind a telescope, gazing into distant stars and galaxies from her home in Arizona. Her passion for astronomy has inspired Kitzman to support Technion research that aims to provide humanity with even deeper glimpses into the cosmos. By leveraging her individual retirement account (IRA), she is funding Technion astronomy research now while making provisions for further support after her lifetime — and, in the process, sparing her retirement savings from taxation. Kitzman supports this research using annual distributions from her IRA. Like all individuals with an IRA…

For 100 years, the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology has been the engine of ingenuity and entrepreneurship for Israel, the Startup Nation. “This study from Stanford University proves there is some special sauce in the Technion that distinguishes it from other universities,” said Michael Waxman-Lenz, chief executive officer of the American Technion Society. New research from the Stanford Graduate School of Business shows that the Technion has a 25 times higher chance than any other university outside the United States to produce a U.S. unicorn. A unicorn is a startup valued at more than $1 billion that is privately…

A.J. searched several jewelry stores to find the perfect wedding ring for his fiancée, but nothing was quite right. So being the Technion student he is, he taught himself 3D modeling, designed it in 3D software, found the stone he wanted, and searched for the perfect jeweler and goldsmith to put it together. That’s before arranging for a friend of a friend to stealthily deliver the ring to him in Vienna, check that the sun would shine in just the right spot in the botanical garden in the Belvedere Palace where he would propose, and cover informational signs in the…
