2011-2012 Yearlong Program Launches and Student Council Elected!

The 2011-2012 Yearlong Program began on Sunday, September 11, 2011. The program kicked off with an address by CEO Zach Leverenz, Program Manager Talya Swartz, and Mentor George Khoury. Students were excited to see one another again and dive back into computer science and business instruction and projects.  Over the course of the next nine months, students will build on knowledge gained from their studies during the Summer Program and will create technology projects with a social impact.

On the first day of the Yearlong Program, students elected the MEET student council for the 2011-2012 Program. Thirteen students presented themselves as candidates from which five were elected for positions. Marina Bursheh was elected as Head of Student Council. Additionally, four students were selected as council members: Yuval Yogev, Izz Abu Dakka, Liraz Jorno, and Lamis Ali (2 Girls and 2 Boys, 2 Palestinians and 2 Israelis). Congratulations to the new Student Council!
