Beyond Borders tries to organize at least one big activity each month to create fun-filled learning experiences for its members and all students on campus. Here are some of the things we do:

Service Projects

It is a requirement for all college-recognized student organization to participate in service projects throughout the year. Each semester, we take this requirement and transform it into a privilege of serving others. And in this light we visit elderly homes, high schools and participate in other activities. This form of involvement gives us not only an opportunity to share about ourselves and learn about others, but also to follow the Norbertine tradition of service to the community.

Parties and Dances

Throughout any given semester, we spend a lot of time planning and organizing one or more diversity parties and/or dances. Our goal is to connect people from different walks of life in a fun-filled and relaxing atmosphere, while reaching to others from within our college community and beyond.

Fundraisers

In order to obtain additional funds for our various activities, each year members participate in and organize a number of fundraisers, which not only help us with finances but provide opportunities for getting to know one another and also raising awareness of different cultures. From selling Advent Calendars to preparing the International Cookies Sale, members always find a way to enjoy themselves while contributing the organization as a whole.

Int'l Education Week

This is the largest diversity event sponsored by Beyond Borders and is held each November. Members of the organization spend a lot of time and effort in planning a week-long celebration of international education and outreach. Each year, events attract many different people, although we try to make them unique in their nature from year to year. Often times, many other student organizations and college departments step in to help our efforts in commemorating this national holiday.

Educational Presentations

With a goal of furthering our educational opportunities, we invite different speakers to our meetings who share their perspectives on different topics. From LGBTQ Ally training to QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) Suicide Prevention education, we always try to go "beyond" our "borders" in learning, sharing and communicating with others.

Films, Chats & Awareness

In addition to organizing numerous large events throughout a year, members of Beyond Borders also find the time to sponsor different educational movies, organize Travel Chats or a game of International Jeopardy, or simply spread awareness on different topics by simply putting up the posters around campus or giving a flower to females. Some of these events include Valentine's Day, International Women's Day, World AIDS Day and others.
