Afeka’s Honorary Fellows
Afeka College believes that engineering is a passion: to explore, to discover, to think differently, and to enable future engineers to lead change for all of society.
As part of this philosophy, Afeka instituted a new tradition in 2015 marking 20 years of engineering: The Afeka Honorary Fellowship, granted to prominent leaders in their field who have made significant contributions to science, technological progress, the country, or society, and who empower and inspire the college and our students.
Honorary fellows are elected annually by the Afeka Honorary Titles Committee, chaired by the college president. The honor is granted each year at Afeka’s graduation ceremony.
