Mort Zuckerman Awarded Technion Medal

| November 15, 2016 | Mortimer B. Zuckerman was presented with The Technion Medal, the highest honor of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology at a festive dinner last night in New York City. A business leader and philanthropist, Zuckerman was honored for establishing the Zuckerman STEM Leadership Program—a transformative initiative designed to foster collaboration between scientists in the U.S. and Israel. “The idea is to have Israelis study at the highest level of technology and science in America and vice versa, for Americans in Israel,”  Zuckerman said in a statement. “Collaboration and cooperation are crucial in today’s fast-paced world of science. This is a win-win for both countries,” Technion President Professor Peretz said in a statement.
