Nakon što je 40 članova i osoblja Nešto Više diplomiralo na CSBSJU, danas ove dvije organizacije razvijaju partnerske odnose. Do sada je NV organiziralo internship za devet američkih studenata u Bosni i Hercegovini, te uslužilo preko 100 građana BiH kroz treninge koji su se organizirali sa američkim profesorima na našim područjima. Trenutno NV i CSBSJU nastoje proširiti zajedničke aktivnosti planiranjem organizacije kratkoročnih posjeta studenata i osoblja CSBSJU našoj zemlji, kao i organiziranjem jednosemestralnog programa u BiH za američke studente u suradnji sa nekim od naših univerziteta.

Diplomci CSBSJU iz Bosne i Hercegovine su osnovali:

CSB, for women, and SJU, for men, are nationally recognized Catholic liberal arts colleges and ranked as two of the top three Catholic colleges in the nation. They share one academic program, and students attend classes together on both campuses. This integrated learning experience combines a challenging academic program with extensive opportunities for international study, leadership, service learning, spiritual growth and cultural and athletic involvement. The combined enrollment of more than 3,800 students makes CSB and SJU the largest of the nation's liberal arts colleges.

Yet, CSB and SJU are two colleges. Each college retains its own campus, residence halls, athletic programs and traditions. CSB/SJU are committed to the development of the whole person, meeting the unique needs of both women and men in single-gender and co-educational experiences.

The Catholic character of CSB and SJU is shaped by the Benedictine communities which founded the colleges in the 19th century and continues to foster Benedictine Catholic values in the academic, spiritual and social life of the colleges. Today, Benedictine women and men remain actively involved in teaching and administration, and their prayerful presence in community life provides the stable sense of home for which both CSB and SJU are so well known.

CSB and SJU are located six miles apart in central Minnesota, surrounded by 3,200 acres of pristine forests, prairies and lakes. The colleges are minutes away from the St. Cloud metropolitan area, with a population of more than 100,000, while Minneapolis and St. Paul are 70 miles southeast on Interstate 94.
