Technion has created a number of outreach projects to help different groups of students to overcome educational and social gaps when entering Technion. Partners in Progress is about one such program. The Landa Equal Opportunities Project was created at Technion 10 years ago, through the generous support of the Landa Fund. The program has successfully prepared Israeli Arab students to do well at Technion, the number of Israeli Arab students applying to Technion has increased, the dropout rate has radically decreased and Israeli Arab students have been integrated into the Technion community. Technion thanks Benny and Patsy Landa for their support.
