Uptempo rock music plays. All spoken audio is a voiceover spoken by a feminine voice.
Two people, one dressed in tan wearing a bag, another wearing a backpack, are walking on sidewalks in different locations on the Brandeis campus. The shots are of their back or feet.
Voiceover says, “This is the moment that will shape your future.”
The scene shifts to focus on the faces of the two figures. Alaysia is walking along white railing with the science center in the background while Eran is walking through a brick residential quad.
Voiceover says, “This is the moment to seize the day.”
Drone footage of Brandeis in summertime, with green grass and trees surrounding a large steel and glass building, is followed by different angles of a full lecture hall with students on laptops looking at professor gesturing at a projector screen in the front of the classroom. Two students chat in a dining hall next to long glass windows looking out over a brick residential quad. A student is writing on a notebook and then we shift to another student working on a robot, before the scene shifts to a student drawing a human figure in an art studio.
Voiceover says, “This is a place where you will find a community of friendly, curious, innovative, creative people.”
Voiceover says, “Just like you,” as Alaysia and Eran each look up at the camera.
A series of short clips play: Three students on green lawn high five each other, a student rests her head on another student’s shoulder as they both look at a laptop, a professor is teaching a class, and we shift to a student looking at a machine in a room.
Voiceover says, “The place where you'll connect with friends, faculty, mentors.”
A student sitting at a table is typing on a laptop computer and we shift to a professor talking to a student afterclass.
Voiceover says, “Where inclusion is in our DNA.”
A series of quick scenes show a student typing on their laptop, a professor in the front of lecture hall gesturing at a large loop device, a closeup of a 3D printer beginning a red print, students presenting with a 3D printed model, and a student on an internship on the coast examining tidal pools.
Voiceover says, “At Brandeis, your next internship is a handshake away and you are one step away from changing the world.”
A professor lectures as he points to formulas on a white board, before the scene cuts to a student in a white robe working with some tubes and then a professor lecturing in a classroom and a purple tinged stage with actors in elaborate costumes. Next, two athletes dressed in white outfits with helmets on fence against each other, and another athlete dives into a pool.
Voiceover says, “Whether you want to study business or science, history or art, you can be who you are and become who you are meant to be.”
A drone shot from above quickly rises over Brandeis University campus.
Voiceover says, “This is your place.”
Three graduates in black caps and gowns wave at camera.
Voiceover says, “This is your community.”
Students dance in the grassy patch during orientation.
Voiceover says, “This is your moment.”
The camera pans in on granite “Brandeis University” sign before shifting to a pan around a large statue of Louis Brandeis on a green hill on campus.
Voiceover says, “Welcome to Brandeis.”
Music ends on the Brandeis logo.
