I Am Celebration
This celebration is meant to celebrate SSSP students and educate the broader Brandeis community of our experiences and most importantly, our integral presence on campus. This event is planned in collaboration with the SSSP Student Leadership Board and Academic Services.
The theme of “I AM” changes each year, but consistently highlights one aspect of first-generation college student identity and the success of the scholars in our community.
On March 27, 2025, we celebrated the I Am Ambitious Celebration, a night honoring the drive and aspirations of students in their pursuit to build a bright future for themselves and generations to come. We were thrilled to welcome the Interim President, Arthur Levine ’70, join us and provide some brief remarks. We also enjoyed a speech from Professor Sarah Mayorga, Chair of Sociology and a core faculty member in the Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies program. We also had an amazing performance by Sazon, a student group that aims to contribute to campus inclusivity and diversity by showcasing various levels of Latinx and Caribbean communities through dance. We thank everyone for coming out and look forward to seeing you at the 2026 celebration!
