Going Out Into the World:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

15 students from 6 countries have completed their studies at Technion International <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey say that if you\u2019re the smartest person in the room it\u2019s a sign that you\u2019re not in the right room. Here, I was in the right room with the best and smartest people.\u201d This is how Rebecca Samarelli summed up her four years of study at Technion International. Samarelli said, \u201cThe beginning was not easy. The shock on the first day was tremendous, and communication was complex. I thought I\u2019d get excellent grades here, just like I did in high school \u2013 and I was wrong, big time. But our class turned into a melting pot very quickly: we studied together, we had fun, we suffered, and we became a family. We learned the meaning of hard work here. We learned that the effort is always worthwhile.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Samarelli is one of 15 students who recently completed their studies at Technion International and earned a degree in Civil Engineering, focusing on environmental engineering and construction management. Four of them are from Italy, one from France, seven from China, one from India, one from Guatemala, and one from Japan. Two of them will continue to earn graduate degrees at Technion and two will join the labor market in Israel. <\/span><\/p>\n

Technion International Director Ronit Lis-Hacohen presided over the graduation ceremony. Dean of Graduate Studies, Prof. Orit Hazzan, congratulated the graduates: \u201cEach of you will be able to make a mark on their community: in environmental protection, green energy production, the creation of jobs, housing, and more. In this way, you will continue the Technion tradition of disseminating scientific and engineering knowledge and the message of innovation around the world.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Prof. Mark Talesnick, founder of the Engineers Without Borders (EWB) branch at Technion, spoke about the challenges facing the global engineering community. \u201cWe live in a world where more than a billion people have no access to drinking water and two billion have no access to medical treatment,\u201d said Prof. Talesnick. \u201cYou, as the engineers of the future, have learned a lot here \u2013 but you have not learned how to work with your hands, how to lead, how to grow a social conscience. It is important for these things to guide you in your future endeavors as well. You can make a difference \u2013 go out and do it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
