From undergraduates transferring from other institutions to students starting master’s degree programs, more than 200 students embarked on their Brown journeys in late January.

The joint project of repair will bring together resources, programming and services focused on mental health, psychological wellness and ensuring a sense of physical security for the Brown community.

The accomplished scholar and academic leader with experience directing international research collaborations will work to strengthen Brown’s doctoral programs and create new opportunities for over 1,700 doctoral students.

U.S. Sen. and U.S. Army veteran Jack Reed and Rear Admiral Darryl L. Walker of the U.S. Naval War College joined Brown leaders, student veterans and ROTC students in celebrating the service of the nation’s military members.

In an important step toward expanded access, Brown will significantly grow funding for U.S. military veterans pursuing graduate degrees, while a generous donation will establish the Cisneros Veterans Scholars Program.
