Prof. Naama Brenner, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, served as the emcee, and congratulated the new academic staff members. She said, “You’ve come to the Technion in a challenging time, a time of war. This is a time of crisis, and it is important that you remember your commitment and ours to the State of Israel. As members of the academic staff, we have the obligation – and have been given the privilege – of serving in a leadership role in Israeli society.”
President of the Technion, Prof. Uri Sivan, noted in his comments that this year marked the 100th anniversary of the Technion. “You have every right to be very proud of joining the ranks of this institution, and we have no doubt that your conduct will not only be guided by professionalism, but also by a social commitment and responsibility to the social resiliency of the State of Israel,” he said.
