We caught up with BOLD alumni from the classes of 2020 and 2021 at the [Re]Commencement after-party and asked them to sum up their Brandeis experience in a few words. Watch the video to hear what they had to say.

Brandeisians of the Last Decade (BOLD) invites you to be a part of our vibrant and active young alumni community. We welcome undergraduate alumni who graduated in the last 10 years to join us in the following activities:

Favorite Brandeis Professor: Professor Servino

Favorite Place on Campus: "Upper" Usdan

Favorite Brandeis Memory: One of my favorite Brandeis memories is being actively involved in campus clubs and extracurriculars, where I formed some of my closest friendships and created lasting memories through meaningful engagement with the Brandeis community.

I volunteer because I want to help cultivate a strong and connected Brandeis community beyond campus. By staying involved with the alumni network, I hope to create spaces where friendships can continue to grow, new connections can be made, and the sense of belonging we all felt at Brandeis can carry on for years to come. I truly love Brandeis, and I believe what makes it so special is the people — and volunteering allows me to help keep that spirit alive.
