Ariel University Center (AUC) is known as Israel‘s most-popular and fastest-growing higher educational institution.  Located in the city of Ariel, a bustling city of 20,000 people in the Samarian hills, the 26-year-old educational institution continues to grow and diversify to meet the new challenges of a burgeoning society.  It currently boasts 9,500 students from all over the country, with over 70% coming from the greater Tel Aviv area and central Israel.

Come hear Avery Ellisman, Head of US-based efforts to support AUC, and Prof. Zvi Shiller, Head of AUC’s Dept. of Mechatronics, provide background and details on how what was once a small adult-education center managed to become the place for Israel’s young to seek and gain higher education.
