Bilingual Education Student Organization (BESO)
BESO is an organization for Bilingual Education Majors,
but is open to all education students. BESO serves as a networking system for
both alumni and currently enrolled students. Through such a system, we help each
other in selecting classes, choosing professors, and also in exchanging books.
We are planning some great projects for the spring semester such as: donating
bilingual books to a school and having an ESL/Bilingual Education Awareness
week.
