My most memorable Brandeis experience?

a small story about the community, I was standing outside the library at night holding a banana and joking with my friends that it was a phone. A group of guys walked by as I picked up my banana and said "hello?" One of the guys, while continuing to walk, pulled a banana out of his pocket and said "oh hi!" answering my phone call. We talked for a bit on our bananas as he walked away. I never saw his face and do not know him, but I think about this experience as being incredibly Brandeis. We are a community for fun-loving, tight knit people.

My favorite activity outside of class is...

Organizing in solidarity with the Unions on campus to make sure that all workers are treated fairly by Brandeis. Because we are all one community here!

My favorite Brandeis tradition is...

Culture X, our giant culture clubs performance in the spring, it gives everyone a chance to show off all of the cool art and dance they have been working on all year!

My favorite place on campus, in Waltham or in Boston is...

Tatte, a great cafe in Boston! I love to go their on the weekends for either a delicious lunch or midnight dessert.

I'm passionate about...

Cooking The Outdoors organizing for climate justice Hanging with Friends
