Beyond the Box Forum

beyond the box aims to provide a safe, inclusive environment for individuals to explore issues regarding their racial and ethnic identities. our anonymous forum is a facilitated discussion space where experiences and stories can be shared without risk of judgment or harassment. in doing so, we hope to educate and raise awareness of our generation’s struggles to accept and embrace their individuality. particularly, we emphasize and destigmatize the insecurities surrounding a mixed-race identity. in the rapidly growing field of technology, where minorities and mixed-race individuals may feel out of place, we utilize not only our knowledge of computer science but our personal experiences to shape our community.
