Cassandra's Story

My passion is leadership.

Leadership development and cultural studies are my top two passions, and I think Brown Summer@Brown will be a great opportunity to help me pursue them. Leadership development helps me engage in inter-cultural experiences. People from different cultural backgrounds have a different sense of leadership and a different sense of what's the "correct" way to interact with people. With more leadership development, I'll be able to gain better sense on how to bridge cultures and interact respectfully with different people.

Summer@Brown offers many interesting and unique liberal arts classes that I wish to take this summer. I hope to meet new students that share the same interests and spend my summer doing something that means a lot to me.

A Note from Ms. Shaw, Cassandra's Mentor

Cassandra is a good candidate for Summer@Brown because she is an excellent and dedicated student. She takes full advantage of opportunities that are offered to her and she will thoughtfully make use of her experience there as she prepares for college.

Pre Summer@Brown

I am so excited to attend Summer@Brown! I look forward to meeting new people but I'm also afraid of not making many friends. I hope my class will be as interesting as it sounds, because I spent a lot of time selecting that specific course. I hope that the people in my class will be as passionate about learning as I am so that class will be more engaging and we'll have more to talk about. I also hope my professor is nice and that I'll be able to stay in contact with him/her after the program ends. Overall, I'm both very excited and nervous for the program to begin.

Post Summer@Brown

Summer@Brown was an amazing experience. I got to meet so many people from all over American and even across the world. My favorite part of this program was the class itself. I learned so much about radical social movements of the late 20th century! We created posters, watched videos, and read documents about earlier forms of activism. I also loved the weekend trips that were organized. We were able to tour Rhode Island and experience life outside of campus. I especially enjoyed the freedom that we had at Summer@Brown and I feel like this really did give me a sense of what college will be like.

I attended Brown Summer Academy way back in 1989, and it was a wonderful experience. I hope Cassandra finds it valuable as well!
