“QAA offered unique, helpful insights about not just the WGS department but about Brandeis as a whole from queer students, staff, and faculty. The pre-orientation session helped me transition smoothly from high school to college as I dipped my toes into the different expectations and lifestyle college provides. The friends I made in my time at QAA are still my closest friends and I am so grateful for the QAA pre-orientation experience.”
