Universities bear the great responsibility of training and honing the skills of the world’s future leaders. Amid a pivotal moment for Israel and its path forward, the Ilene & Steve Berger Technion Visting Fellows are an uplifting reminder that our future is in great hands. A cohort of students across several departments at the Technion, the Berger Visiting Fellows represent some of the brightest minds at the Technion and in Israel. During an annual trip to the United States, the Fellows connect with American Technion Society (ATS) donors and bring a bit of Israel and the Technion with them to celebrate the relationship between donor support and student success.
I had the privilege of discussing what life is like as a Technion student with three of this year’s Visiting Berger Fellows: Iftach Chaplin, MD/PhD student in the Ruth and Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine; Nikol Seleznev, undergraduate student in the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering; and Ofek Glick, master’s student in the Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences. Their commitment to their work and drive to shape the future is a testament to the instrumental role the Technion plays in training the leaders of tomorrow.
