The video opens with a shot of Brandeis University student Koby G. as he directly addresses the camera.

"Not only is Brandeis finding ways for, for me to be able to change the world and to contribute positively to the world."

As Koby is speaking a title card fades into the lower left corner of the screen that has white text and a blue background that says:

"Koby G.

The video transitions to a montage of shots. The first shot is of a person collecting trash in the forest with other volunteers. The video then cuts to several candle lit menorahs on a table, and then the video cuts to a person lighting a menorah in the Shapiro Campus center. Underneath the montage of shots we hear Koby's voice under the b-roll footage.

"But they're also doing it in ways that I find interesting, and ways that are very timely, and very important to me, which is combating antisemitism."

The video cuts to a Brandeis University student Riley M. as she speaks directly to camera:

"Taking the skills I've learned in my classes and the resources that have been provided, I think I can go into a career that's going to do social good."

As Riley is speaking a lower third graphic fades onto the screen on the lower left corner that has white text with a blue background that says:

"Riley M.

Health: Science, Society, and Policy

The video then cuts to two consecutive shots of a professor standing by a white board in a classroom and pointing at what they have just written on the whiteboard. Underneath this b-roll we hear Riley's voice as she says:

"Everyone around me is so driven in the field of social justice, that, I know that through Brandeis, I will get there."

The video then cuts to Brandeis University student Josue M. speaking directly to camera:

"I think making a difference in the world is absolutely something I've dreamt of. I think it's something that's been a part of my identity.

The video then cuts to a quick shot of a student wearing an Israel flag and white and blue cowboy hat. We hear Josue's voice as he says:"

"Being different has for the longest time been something that I was afraid of. But now since being at Brandeis, I realized, like, that is my superpower. That is really what I can use and what I have to utilize in order to make such a difference in the world."

As Josue is speaking a lower third title card appears on screen on the left hand corner that consists of white font with a royal blue background that says:

"Josue M.

Art History,

Berkeley, CA"

The title card appears briefly and then fades off of the screen.

The video then cuts to a student wearing a lab coat working in a science lab. The video cuts again to see a student working on a robot on a workbench. We hear Brandeis University Student Shoshana's voice as we see this b-roll on screen.

The video then cuts to Shoshana S. as she is seen speaking directly to camera:

"We take these classes, we learn these topics, and we discuss these subjects because it's for the betterment of the world and because we should, hopefully, be able to take all of the information and all of the skills that we're getting from these classes and actually be able to contribute to the world."

As Shoshana is seen on screen a lower third title card appears on the lower left of the video that has white text with a blue background that says:

"Shoshana S.

Biology & Health: Science, Society, and Policy

The video then cuts to two people in a library setting looking at a book together. Underneath this b-roll we hear Brandeis University student Sophie T. speaking:

"There's just incredible people here that care and want to make a difference in the world."

The video then cuts to Sophie T. speaking directly to the camera as she says:&

"And that translates into the work that we do. And I really wouldn't wanna be anywhere else."

As Sophie speaking a lower third title card appears on the lower left bottom of the screen that says:

"Sophie T.

The lower third fades out after a few seconds.

The video fades to white background with blue text that says "Brandeis" to close out the video.
