Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology with a few of my friends and colleagues at the American Technion Society (ATS) to show solidarity for our peers in Israel and learn more about how things have changed over the last several months. It was immediately clear to all of us how quickly everyone in the north adapted to new challenges that come with wartime, and we were all impressed with how the Technion has rallied around its students and faculty – particularly the thousands who have been called to service.
I spoke with ATS New York Metro Leadership Council President, Michael Miller, and ATS San Francisco Leadership Council President, David Kaufman, to reflect on our time in Israel and the inspiring solidarity of the Technion community.
Michael W.: I felt very passionately about visiting Israel during this time to connect with our colleagues on the ground and learn more about how the Technion has adapted to this challenging time. What inspired the both of you to visit Israel and the Technion as well?
