Thousands of the University's alumni play significant roles in almost every sphere of life in Israel and elsewhere in the world. Graduates of BGU's Medical School for International Health, a program in collaboration with Columbia University Medical Center, are heading emergency rooms in the U.S. or managing public health crises in Africa.
BGU's alumni are leading major high-technology companies, founding nonprofit organizations, publishing works of literature, spearheading Israel's environmental movement…changing the world.
The University's Alumni Association provides remarkable services for alumni, with a special emphasis on strengthening support services for graduates who remain in the Negev region. It works for social justice and engages alumni in campus and local Negev community activities.
The Alumni Association fosters networking through class reunions, social and cultural events, special print and online publications, and the highly successful BGU professor lecture series. In collaboration with the University's newly created Career Counseling Office, the Association offers an online job board, continuing education classes, executive training programs, and personal enrichment workshops.
The Career Office helps students and alumni integrate into the Israeli work force by identifying employment opportunities in the south and in BGU's Industrial Affiliates Program to increase academic-industrial relations.
Through the University's Alumni Fund, BGU graduates are helping provide scholarships for students in need.
Alumni are encouraged to get involved and join the Alumni Association.
