ABOUT US
Learning. Teaching. Sharing.
The purpose of BESO is to create a group that supports not only bilingual education but every major at UHD. Our organization supports professional development, community service, continuing education, and serves as a support group for any type of help you might need. The BESO organization offers students the opportunity to create a living-learning community where you belong and become engaged individuals with strong leadership skills. We try to give back to our community as much as possible, help you with academics, and strive to make your time at UHD fun!
