Activities
Community building for the MLK Fellows begins with a off-campus retreat at the start of the fall semester. During this retreat, the group engages in interactive discussion around a theme, and has the opportunity to hear from seniors who share their wisdom on navigating college life. Each month, the staff and fellowship advisory board organize group social, service and/or educational events. Traditions in our fellowship include a Friendsgiving dinner, trip to an arts performance in Boston and end of year graduation celebration. The fellowship also hosts community service drives, off-campus volunteer events, and campus resource workshops. Members of the fellowship are involved in the planning and execution of the campus-wide Martin Luther King Jr. Day Commemoration in January.
Through these opportunities, Brandeis MLK Fellows build community across class years, academic interests and cultural backgrounds. We also collaborate with other cohort-based programs in Academic Services (TRiO Student Support Services, Myra Kraft Achievers Program, Posse Scholars, Gen One Network).
