The Women’s Division of the American Society for Technion was founded in the early 1950s as an auxiliary to the American Society for Technion. The American Society for Technion had been founded in 1940 to support the Technion, also known as the Israel Institute of Technology. The Pittsburgh chapter of the Women’s Division of the American Society for Technion began as early as 1953. The group generally held a spring auction and a fall donor luncheon to raise funds to support specific Technion projects.
