These ceremonies mark a significant milestone in the students' academic journeys and exemplify the institute's dedication to providing quality education for future engineers, technologists, scientists, and designers. 

At the Faculty of Sciences, School of Computer Science, and School of Mathematical Sciences ceremony, 431 degrees were conferred to Computer Science and Applied Mathematics graduates and master’s in computer science.

Professor Adir Pridor, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, addressed the graduates: "As a scientist, I can tell you that science is primarily about 'how to achieve a Yes." Today, I encourage you to think 'yes,' strive for 'yes,' and achieve 'yes' for yourselves and the future of the State of Israel."

Professor Eduard Yakubov, President of HIT, congratulated the graduates: "I congratulate you for completing your journey from the admissions office to this moment. You represent our country's future, and I'm confident that, like our other graduates, you will find yourselves integrated into the largest companies in our economy." Professor Yakubov highlighted the institute's strong ties with industry and contributions to Israel's economy.

Professor Shaul Bar-Lev, HIT’s Rector, said: "It's gratifying to see you, the graduates, and your families here today. You stepped into the unknown three years ago and are now completing your degree at a prestigious institute."
Shlomi Yakubov, Vice Chairman of the Student Union, added: "Each of you faced a path full of challenges, but you proved they could be overcome."

At the Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Industrial Engineering and Technology Management graduation ceremony, HIT awarded 427 degrees to master’s graduates.
Professor Eduard Yakubov said excitedly: "I'm no less thrilled than you to stand here today. Given the current situation in our country, it's not taken for granted that this event even takes place."
Professor Shaul Bar-Lev emphasized: "You've had the privilege of studying at a prestigious and respected institute. As graduates, you are our best marketing representatives."

In a poignant ceremony, 208 diplomas were awarded to graduates of the Department of Data Science, the Faculty of Instructional Technologies, and the Departments of Digital Medical Technologies, Industrial Design, Interior Design, and Visual Communication Design.

Professor Eduard Yakubov: "We conclude a week of ceremonies demonstrating how our institute continues to grow and flourish alongside its graduates." The President also paid tribute to Danielle Waldman, an Interior Design student who tragically lost her life with her partner at the outbreak of the war during the Nova music festival.

Dr. Refael Barkan, Vice President for Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Internationalization concluded: "During your time here, you've acquired tools and knowledge that will serve you well. We've planted the seeds, and it is up to you to make the progress. We're pleased to see many of you continuing to master's studies and even PhD."
