Do you buildOn?

 ~ BuildOn at NYU ~

As a student at NYU, you are one of the lucky literate individuals with access to education.  The BuildOn group at NYU shares the goal of the organization to bring literacy to the 1.2 billion people around the world who do not share that access.

"buildOn's mission is to break the cycle of poverty, illiteracy and low expectations through service and education"

Yesterday, a member of BuildOn NYU shared their mission during the International Student Coffee Hour and encouraged international to get involved!  This year's goal is to help establish a school in Nepal by fundraising in the city.

Cross School Advising at the ARC

Students often have questions about taking classes outside their school.  This is great option for interested students that have the space and time in their schedules.  In order to better advise you on your options, each college at NYU hosts walk-in advising hours at the ARC every week:

*Note: you can also speak with a representative from the Office of Global Programs on Tuesdays if you are considering study away!

Coffee Hour Recap

Get Involved!

Yesterday's International Student Coffee Hour was great!  We were able to speak with some fantastic people from different organizations involved with volunteer projects at NYU and throughout the city.

If you were not able to make it, here is some of what you missed:

Center for Student Activities, Leadership & Service
NYU Service: http://www.nyu.edu/life/student-life/nyu-service.htm
There are so many leadership and service opportunities available at NYU that both    help the community and give you a sense of accomplishment.
Alternative Spring Break: http://www.nyu.edu/life/student-life/nyu-service/local-national-service/alternative-breaks/ab-trips/asb.html
The goal of the Alternative Breaks program is to give students an opportunity to connect with meaningful service projects around the world.

 

One To World creates global citizens and inspires a peaceful world through one-of-a-kind programs in classrooms and communities: http://www.one-to-world.org

 

Dr. Tristan Kirvin, CAS Academic Affairs, discussed a rewarding experience while studying abroad in Rome.  

 

More than anything, service and volunteer opportunities give you a chance to connect with other students and the community.  No matter what the task, big or small, these experiences will give you a renewed outlook and inevitable help you later on.  So check out the website and start getting involved! 

 

See you at the next CAS International Student Coffee Hour!
