L. Rafael Reif

President, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Program: Office of the President

President Reif grew up in a home in Caracas, Venezuela where a combination of Spanish and Yiddish was spoken. His mother and father, recent immigrants from Eastern Europe, made a living without the benefit of an extensive education. Reif says “To this day, each time I see a humble person in some menial job, I see a smart person like my parents who did not have the opportunity for an education.”
