Dear Serina,
We have some exciting opportunities for teens in your community! Help
us give them the summer of their lives.
BIMA and Genesis at Brandeis University are two college level
summer programs that offer talented high school students from across the
globe an opportunity to become immersed in artistic study (BIMA) or intellectual discovery (Genesis). At BIMA and Genesis
teens explore the relationship between their personal passions and their
Jewish identity while forming life-long friendships.
Teens who spend a summer at Brandeis come back to their school and
community with a passion for learning and a deeper connection to their
heritage. Our participants are creative thinkers, community builders and
leaders in all that they do. Sending your teens to BIMA and Genesis is an
investment in the quality of your community.
Our second and final application deadline is March 22- less than three
weeks away! Every year we hold places in all of our courses and majors
for Round 2 applicants- but space is limited, so please encourage your
teens to apply soon.
We still have a number of needs-based scholarships available to
qualified students for this summer. In addition, we have other funding
opportunities for both programs, which you can read about in this
newsletter.
The Brandeis tradition of service, learning and action continues at
our two new programs:
•Impact: Boston-
our 12-day social action intensive
•Social Justice Summer-
a non-residential learning and action program
Please help us spread the word about our programs to outstanding teens in
your school or community. Please feel free to forward this email to teens,
parents and other professionals.
If you have any questions please call us: 781-736-8416. We are always happy
to talk to interested professionals.Thank you.

Director, Office of High School Programs

BIMA and Genesis participants learn from and teach one another, exchange
ideas and practices, and form life-long friendships. Help us increase our
diversity by encouraging teens in your community to apply.
