Our Connection to Universities

Words Beats and Life began at the University of Maryland, College Park, and because of the importance of transforming the educational experience of university students, WBL will always do workshops on college campuses.  We also understand how often university students are not connected with communities that surround their campuses, so developing innovative community service projects is central to our work.  Words Beats and Life is committed to developing the next generation and current generation of university students and leaders through our Journal, exhibitions and workshops.
