Nexus Global Student Group

Who are we? Nexus Global Student Group is a student organization focused on connecting and developing relationships between highly ambitious students from different academic disciplines. There is a hidden problem plaguing university students across the globe: tunnel vision. Students who have their sights set on a specific career/industry tend to lock themselves onto a narrow path. - Business majors interested in investment banking join finance clubs, take finance classes, attend IB related events, and end up forming their lives and friend groups around their future industry. - Political science majors that want to work on campaigns join student government, intern for local representatives, attend campaign events. - Premeds, engineers, artists, journalists... the list goes on. Every major has a tendency to isolate within itself. As a result, students lose out on the immense amount of ideas, perspectives, and opportunities available across the other academic disciplines on campus. Nexus Global Student Group aims to solve this problem by enabling ambitious students to explore outside of their major and perspective. We hold weekly meetings where students are free to present and discuss the ideas that interest them beyond just their discipline and career path. Topics have ranged from "The hidden ways dining halls manipulate you and save money" to "Determinism- do we even have free will?". Currently we have established chapters at the University of Southern California, University of California - Los Angeles, and Hong Kong University of Science & Technology. We are actively recruiting members at all three locations.
