ConnecTech: MIT Technion
MIT - the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - and the Technion - the Israel Institute of Technology are two institutions with more in common than their names: they attract some of the finest students and faculty in the world, explore cutting-edge research in science and technology, and create environments focused on innovation and discovery. ConnecTech brings Jewish students at the two institutions even closer together.
ConnecTech is a year-long fellowship beginning in the spring semester. The primary focus is on student interaction-- creating personal bonds between small core groups of students at each institute and strengthening a sense of Jewish peoplehood. Students also travel to the other's campuses and see the culture, innovative technology ventures, and create people-to-people bridges between the two communities.
ConnecTech is part of Combined Jewish Philanthropy’s Boston-Haifa Connection. Check out the ConnecTech travel blog (scroll to the bottom of this link to read the blogs).
