American students at Ben-Gurion University take advantage of their outdoor classroom.

Since its founding in 1967, The Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has relied on the vision of an Israeli legend to provide a basis for growth of the once desolate Negev region of Israel. Demonstrating the commitment of Israel's first prime minister, David Ben Gurion, the University's 12,000 students specialize in community medicine, desert research, and high technology in an effort to develop Israel's south.

The Blaustein Institute for Desert Research and the Institute for Applied Research both provide cutting edge facilities for specialists who conduct experimental exploration into all aspects of life in arid climates. Moreover, through cooperation in areas such as desertification, agriculture, and irrigation, the faculty of Ben-Gurion University has issued a clear mandate to constructing a sound peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
