Four generations of graduates

Among the graduates who completed their bachelor’s degree studies at the end of
the previous semester was Hagai Kiri, a graduate of the “Brakim” excellence program.
Kiri, 22, is a fourth-generation Technion graduate in his family. Moshe Dembo, his
great-grandfather, received his degree as part of the second construction engineering
graduating class. His grandfather Joseph Dembo, 90, is a civil engineering graduate.
Hagai’s mother, Yael Kiri Dembo, is a graduate of the Faculty of Chemical Engineering
and his father, Uri Kiri, is a Mechanical Engineering graduate.
