Traveling the World
with the Technion

M

y husband, Larry, and I 
joined last fall’
s Technion 
World Tour China, follow-
ing my participation in American 
Technion Society (ATS) missions 
in 2017 to New York and in 2016 to 
Israel. 
The 2017 and 2018 trips included 
tours of two of the Technion-Israel 
Institute of Technology’
s most ambi-
tious institutional collaborations. One 
is the New York’
s Jacobs Technion-
Cornell Institute, which combines 

Israel’
s innovation, entrepreneurship 
and applied research abilities with 
Cornell University’
s reputation in 
engineering and computer science. 
The other is the Guangdong Technion 
Israel Institute of Technology 
(GTIIT), the first Israeli universi-
ty campus in China, a partnership 
with the Guangdong Province, the 
Shantou Municipal Government, the 
Chinese government, the Li Ka-shing 
Foundation and Shantou University. 
I am a second-generation Technion

NCJW Needs Volunteers to Fill Students’
 Backpacks

Volunteers will soon begin filling 
backpacks with age-appropriate 
school supplies to help 1,500 home-
less and low-income children in 
Oakland County, thanks to a pro-
gram which has been operated by 
National Council of Jewish Women, 
Michigan (NCJW|MI) since 1997. 
On Sunday, July 21, at 10 a.m. 
volunteers will gather at Hillel Day 
School (32200 Middlebelt Road, 
Farmington Hills) to unpack the 
backpacks and the various supplies 
to be placed inside them. Then on 
Monday, July 22, at 10 a.m. volun-
teers will meet to stock each back-
pack with the correct supplies. 
Volunteers of all ages are needed 
for both events, with no registration 

required; students taking part can 
receive community service credit.
“Our backpacks help alleviate 
some of the stress associated with 
going back to school for local chil-
dren in need and their parents,” 
said Jennifer LoPatin, president of 
NCJW|MI, a social advocacy and 
grassroots volunteer organization 
which has been operating in Metro 
Detroit for 128 years. 
In addition to the backpacks, fam-
ilies in need will also be provided 
with vouchers to NCJW|MI’
s council 
re|sale shop for back to school cloth-
ing. In the 2017-2018 school year, 
there were 2,208 homeless students 
in Oakland County, with 63 percent 
of those students needing school
