the Student Association
at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
|
|
Located in the heart of the Negev, Ben-Gurion University is currently home to more than 17,000 students studying in every field from sciences to arts and humanities.
|
The university was founded on the vision of Israel’s first Prime Minister, David Ben- Gurion, whose dream was to develop the Negev desert.
With this vision in mind Ben- Gurion University has flourished into a major center of research and education drawing faculty and students from
diverse backgrounds.
the Student Association brings some of Israel’s most popular entertainers to campus for concert throughout the year.
The Student Association at Ben-Gurion is made up of representatives from each university department. The elected students are committed to improving life for the student body by providing services and a range of programs including cultural, academic, and community-oriented activities.
The Student Association is housed in the Zlotowski Student Center where students come not only to meet friends at one of the cafeterias or cafes, but also to take advantage of the university's bookstore, clinic, recreation rooms, and employment center. In addition, the newly completed Zlotowski Student Administration Building makes the student center the hub of student life at the university.
One of the many functions of the Student Association is to provide cultural services to the student body. Not only does the Student Association facilitate much dialogue between the diverse student body, but also the Student
Association provides many cultural outlets in which students can unwind from their studies. The Student Association runs weekly lectures, an on campus cinema, two pubs, a dance club, as well as a dance troupe, orchestra, and choir. Additionally the Student Association brings some of Israel’s most popular entertainers to campus for concert throughout the year.
In addition to the cultural services that the Student Association provides, they also strive to represent the students in academic affairs. To this end, the
Student Association runs a Long-Term Lending Library where students can borrow new textbooks and also an Exam Bank service where students
can access exams and their solutions in order to help with their studying. Furthermore, there are constant meetings between student representatives and faculty in order to ensure that students can voice their needs and concerns.
One of the components at Ben-Gurion University is connecting with the community and the Student Association strives to do this by running many
programs in which the student body can interact with the local population. There are opportunities to work with hospital patients and underprivileged
youth in addition to contributing food and clothing to collections that benefit the local community.
As you can see the Student Association here at Ben-Gurion University is a crucial component of university life. The student association welcomes you to take advantage of all of their academic, cultural, and community-oriented programs and to join the rest of the student body in making Ben-
Gurion University your new home. |
