Meet the Dean’s List Honoree, Hiba Malak: A Breakthrough and a Personal Success Story
Thursday, February 12, 2026

On the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we are proud to share the inspiring story of Hiba Malak, a software engineering student at the Taub Faculty of Computer Science.

Hiba, a resident of Daliyat al-Karmel and the first in her family to reach the Technion, has gone through a path full of determination: from intensive grade improvement before admission, through coping with a challenging first semester, to an impressive academic rise that led her to the Dean’s List honor.

Beyond excellence in her studies, Hiba serves as a social ambassador in her village - she is studying for a teaching certificate and runs a volunteer learning center she established for young girls. “I carry with me the dreams of all those girls who see in us a breakthrough,” she says. We are proud of Hiba for the journey, the perseverance, and the inspiration she gives all of us.
