  Beyond Classrooms is an school trips company for schools looking for educational travel abroad. All of our programs are curated around learning principles such as Kohl’s theory of experiential education, problem based learning, and game based learning theories. Our team has a combined 100,000 hours of teaching experience. Beyond Classrooms is the ultimate solution for learning outside the classroom and school trips abroad. Beyond Classrooms is the project I've been building up to my entire career and I am incredibly grateful for the inspiring team that I work with.

  • Jan 2012 - Jun 2012

  What The F, a women's health magazine here on campus that will tell the whole story. The F stands for feminism, femininity, and our protestations against the way women's health is being delivered to us by the media today. For a world-reknowned university where we consider ourselves the front-runners of equality and social change, we think this will be a vital addition to our community. Our goal is to provide a periodical released every 28 days to all women on campus (and any interested and brave men). This magazine aims to educate and unite readers in our womanhood through a humorous, edgy, informative, and accurate publication that is accessible to women of all social groups. It will includes articles, resources, and graphics on women's mental, physical, emotional, and sexual health.
