Sophomore Year: The Big Decision!
As a sophomore at Brandeis, lots of questions might be coming up about how you want to spend the rest of your time at Brandeis & beyond. Are you overwhelmed by choosing a major/minor? Not sure if you want to study abroad? Are you fulfilling your passions outside the classroom (volunteering, singing, etc.)?
The Center for Spiritual Life and the Department of Community Service are excited to host Sophomore Year TBD: The Big Decisions, a new opportunity for sophomores to reflect on their time at Brandeis, hear from inspirational student/faculty/staff/alumni speakers, and build a stronger sense of community. This two-day virtual retreat will provide you a time and space to slow down and pay attention to what matters most to you.
Register by February 15. Space is limited. Participants will be selected based on application responses and order of submission. Contact Lara Ericson with any questions.

Do you want to find community on campus? Conversations that Matter is a popular five-week fellowship in its second year. Discussions will take place weekly and tackle big questions such as “For whom are we responsible?” and “How do we disagree?”
