Technion and Cornell University honored the 2017 graduates of the Joan & Irwin Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech – including the first-ever graduating class of Health Tech students and the second graduating class of Connective Media students. This will be the last class graduating from Cornell Tech’s temporary home in the Google building in Chelsea as the new Cornell Tech campus home of the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute opens on Roosevelt Island in September.

TECHNION MEDAL
The Technion Medal is awarded in recognition of exceptional individuals who have made unstinting efforts to advance humanity; who have worked tirelessly to contribute to the welfare of the Jewish people and the State of Israel; and whose diligent and generous support has proved critical in advancing the Technion, thereby strengthening the industrial, scientific and economic infrastructure of Israel. First established in 1996, the Medal is the Technion’s highest honor representing the utmost level of recognition that the Technion can bestow.

Harvey Prize
The prestigious Harvey Prize, established in 1971 by the late Leo M. Harvey of Los Angeles, was created as a bridge of goodwill between Israel and the nations of the world. The Harvey Prizes are awarded annually at Technion to outstanding individuals in the fields of science and technology, human health, and the furtherance of peace in the Middle East. The Harvey Prizes, which are awarded to international scholars and scientists, are considered a good predictor of the Nobel Prize. Prof. James P. Allison, 2014 Prof. Vladimir I.
