We are Asian Baptist Student Koinonia, a Christian fellowship at Brandeis composed of students who seek to know and love Jesus Christ through a life shared with Him and each other. Through Bible studies, fun fellowship and activities, lots of food, and real friendships, we learn more about God, one another, and ourselves.

All are welcome to join us, whether you are looking for a spiritual home away from home or are wondering what this Christianity thing is all about. College is a busy place, and sometimes you might need somewhere to come as you are, find a listening ear and encouragement, be challenged, and discuss life's big questions.

The group is not limited to Asians, Baptists, or people who know what Koinonia means (but FYI, it means fellowship in Greek). Other Boston-area universities with ABSKs include Harvard, Wellesley, MIT, Boston University, and Boston College.

Questions? Feel free to message us anytime! We hope to see you at our next event or at our weekly Friday Night Bible Studies!

Branda (the Club) exists for two purposes. The first is to develop and maintain Branda (the App), which provides essential services such as shuttle tracking, campus hours, and laundry tracking to the Brandeis community. This includes developing the App as well as the background services and systems necessary for the App’s functionality. The second is to develop the skills and knowledge of the Club members. Branda uses a modern, industry-standard technology stack that provides real-world experience at every step of the development process not only to those with technical interest, but also those interested in marketing, business, and communication. Members of the Club have used this experience to earn internships at companies like IBM, Putnam Investments, and General Dynamics Mission Systems.

BASO seeks to culturally empower African students and the student body at large to become socially, politically, and critically aware of African Cultures. Our goal is to enter the complexities of Africa as a continent by looking at the diversity of each country and understanding these diversities through a sociopolitical and sociocultural lens.
Through the use of discussions among members, intercultural events, and interactive workshops, myths can be dispelled, and dynamic understandings will be revealed. Africa is not just Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, Congo, Rwanda, Nigeria, or Mali; numerous countries constitute her very essence. Despite the overarching goal, even if this club leaves some with only a glimpse of Africa- the food, the music, a language-at least students will have gotten a salient and actual insight into a continent of many but a place of one.

Membership Benefits
* BASO allows members to find solace and community amongst each other.
* BASO creates an education space that brings the continent of Africa to the greater community through discussion, workshops, and events centered around Afro-Diasporic cultures and communities, leaving members with more knowledge about the continent as well as allowing the E-board to also learn from the general community.

Founded in 2023, Brandeis Angling Student Society has two goals. First, we want to provide anglers, old and new, access to free fishing in the Waltham area. We fish once a month and provide members with the licenses, poles, and tackle so students can fish along the Charles river. Secondly, wait to use BASS to provide our members with life skills that are found in fishing. The three skills people will learn are knot-tying, environmental responsibility, and most importantly, patience. Through such skills, members of BASS can become independent and responsible anglers.

Established in 1971 at the onset of anti-Asian sentiment, the Brandeis Asian American Students Association (BAASA) felt the need to create a safe place for Asians and Asian Americans to freely voice their opinions and concerns. Though some of the same struggles exist today, the founding members laid the foundation for social and political activism for future generations.
As BAASA grows, we continue to promote activism and awareness to the Brandeis community and beyond. Our activities and programs are focused upon the involvement in Brandeis Academics, development of student leadership and collaborative efforts with other organizations. We seek to bridge and share our cultures with each other and the Brandeis community, and to educate others and ourselves about current issues dealing with race and politics. Through the implementation of our activities and programs, we uphold standards of the Brandeis community by promoting the universal acceptance and understanding of all peoples.
