Huge Turnout for Technion Open Day
Thousands of potential students arrive on campus
Approximately 5,000 potential students had arrived by midmorning at the Technion’s open day, with many more expected at the faculty reception area situated at the Churchill Auditorium Plaza. In the reception area, the various Technion faculties presented diverse study programs for undergraduate degrees in engineering and science, medicine, education, architecture, and urban planning. The open day included tours of the faculties and laboratories, lectures by Technion researchers, and an alumni panel.
This year saw a significant increase in the number of attendees. The Technion announced that participants in the event would receive a 50% discount on registration fees. A dedicated counseling station for reservists and their families provided information about the academic benefits that the Technion has established since the war to assist student reservists and make it easier for them to integrate into academic life. The station was operated by the Undergraduate Admissions Department.
The Dean of Student’s Office, which is responsible for assisting all Technion students with accommodation, scholarships, and welfare activities, also operated a special station. During this period, the Dean of Student’s Office has increased its activities in support of student reservists, and the Technion leads among Israeli academic institutions in the variety and scope of academic benefits, financial assistance, and emotional support provided to student reservists.
An alumni panel titled ‘The Technion gave me more,’ was held, where Technion alumni discussed how their studies at the Technion opened different career paths for them.
