An exciting start to the 2019-20 academic year

Brown is a respectful and diverse community where all are challenged and supported. It’s a place where scholarship, problem-solving and service to the public good are defined by intense collaboration, intellectual discovery and working in ways that transcend traditional boundaries.

From moving into residence halls to processing through the Van Wickle Gates to the 256th Opening Convocation, the first few days of the fall semester at Brown offered an opportunity to connect, to exchange ideas, and to celebrate a new beginning. The new year is off to a great start!  🍂🐻☀️ #Brown2023

“ Learning how to make the world better is exactly why you are here… Your Brown education will give you exactly the right knowledge and experience you’ll need to be a powerful agent of change. ”
