Department of Student Engagement

Hello! My name is Chris Yang and I am a junior from Queens, New York. I am double majoring in Economics and Psychology. At Brandeis University, I currently serve as a Co-Chair of the ICC Coalition, wherein we work towards strengthening unity across the various cultural clubs and organizations on campus and plan collaborative cultural events. As a Community Engagement Ambassador, I look forward to bolstering that same sense of community for the entire student body through various programs and opportunities that promote service and civic engagement. I am very open to feedback, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or suggestions!

Greetings. I'm Alanis Gonzalez, a rising second-year student from Newark, NJ. I am interested in designing an Independent Interdisciplinary Major combining Education, Hispanic Studies, and Legal Studies and pursuing a Business major. My interest spans several subjects, motivated by a strong desire to impact marginalized communities positively. My passion lies in advocating for multilingual students, supporting first-generation scholars, and empowering those from low-income backgrounds. I'm excited to lead programs that promote community participation, allowing us to become active local and global contributors by being a CEAP Ambassador.
