about A Return to Brooks
Continuing our longstanding partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence, Brooks has pledged to give the organization items that they need to run their programs during the pandemic.
As Brooks prioritizes its work toward becoming an anti-racist institution, we share an accounting of the school's efforts toward diversity, equity and inclusion.
With travel to campus prohibited during the pandemic, the school is bringing its annual mini reunion to alumni this year offering 13 virtual events throughout the month of November.
Monica Abou-Ezzi '16 has raised more than $150,000 to help charities in Lebanon providing disaster relief and rebuilding support following a devastating August 4 explosion in the capital.
Students, alumni, employees and friends of Brooks separated during the coronavirus crisis came together, virtually.
