The Faculty of Computer Science
celebrated the graduation of 51 Magister Students in a
ceremony which was held on Monday, June 14, 2021, in a live event for the
first time since summer 2019. CS Dean,
Prof. Dan Geiger, tVice
Dean for Graduate Studies, Prof. Prof. Gil Barequet,
and the alumni representative Inbar Kaslasi, spoke to the
graduates and their families who participated in the ceremony
from far, and also watched a
video in "Pardon me for the Question" style on the unique
CS Graduate Studies experience.
