Halutz and Zin Programs Inspire the Next Generation of BGU Leaders

Both programs sent cohorts to Israel in March this year to experience BGU for themselves and learn more about the University’s mission and impact while meeting with Israeli policymakers, community leaders and change agents for an overview of the country’s most pressing economic, social, and environmental challenges. “By exploring the Negev's history, geography, demography, economy and environment, Halutz and Zin fellows come to understand and appreciate the unique role that BGU plays in the unfolding development of the Negev and the State of Israel as a whole,” explained Jeff Kaye, BGU Vice President for Public Affairs and Resource Development.

Passion. Connection. Inspiration. These are just some of the words that participants in the Halutz Initiative for Global Leadership have used to describe their motivation. Together with the Zin Fellows Leadership Program launched in the US in 2012, these

programs are fostering a new generation of BGU partners who will help the University achieve the ambitious goals it has set for the next decade and beyond. Pioneer
