Tau Beta Alpha is a multi-cultural diversity fraternity located in Hastings, Nebraska at Hastings College. We started this fraternity about a year ago with a vision to make a change in our community. The goal is to teach people about all the different diverse groups which sometimes get overlooked in this city. Since our group mostly consists of students from the big city, it was slightly uncomfortable for us to come to rural Nebraska and adjust to the ways. We feel it's important to spread our word and hopefully make Hastings College and the community open to new ideas.

The Apathy is Boring Project is a Canadian non-partisan project that uses art, media, and technology to encourage active citizenry, outreaching to a broad demographic of youth about how to be more involved in their communities and the democratic process. Apathy is Boring was born in January 2004, to fill a gap in youth representation in politics and democracy. The original founders (Ilona Dougherty, 23, Paul Shore, 30, and Mackenzie Duncan, 20) saw that many of their peers felt disengaged from the political process.
