Hello everyone, my name is Alannah Atkinson and I am currently a Junior at Brandeis studying AAAS and LACLS. I was born and raised in New York City to Jamaican parents. And a fun fact about me is that my right pinky is not fully mobile. So, if you see me on campus feel free to ask me about my majors, NYC, or to see my pinky.

Hey everybody! I’m Jessy, I come from central Vermont, and I’m a first year majoring in history. When I’m not at the GSC, I love to dance ballet, knit or sew while listening to an audiobook, and explore in the woods. My favorite flowers are Lilacs, and my favorite tree is the Quaking Aspen. I would love to hear what your favorite tree is, so come say hi at the GSC.
