Dear Students,
I want to take a moment to address you personally.
Once again, we find ourselves facing an unfamiliar reality – an ongoing war that is escalating in intensity, and a level of threat to the home front that the State of Israel has never experienced before. Cities and towns are being hit by rockets, soldiers are being called up, families are being evacuated, and our daily routines are once again disrupted.
We know that some of you have been called up for yet another round of reserve duty, others are coping with the mobilization of partners or family members, and all of us are struggling to manage the ongoing uncertainty and tension.
The faculty is not only a place for study and research – it is also a home for all of us. And we are here for each and every one of you, around the clock.
Studies continue online, in accordance with Technion guidelines.
We will do our best to maintain as much academic continuity as possible, with flexibility, understanding, and consideration for these exceptional circumstances.
