Unique Gap Year

Thinking Beyond Borders allows you to connect broad concepts of international development and globalization to specific situations. If you are in a classroom, abstract concepts or even political policies are always some degree removed from reality. TBB is the opposite in that you are learning mainly from your environment, the organizations you work with, the people you get to know. It is a challenging experience to be confronted with gross inequality and your own privilege, to travel in a small group, to be out of your element. But it is worth it for what you learn, question, become. I met some of the most incredible people on TBB, including my best friends.
