“Joining the Brotherhood Initiative was easily one of the best decisions I made when coming to the UW. The support system, from all of the staff, to the community of brothers, has truly made it easier to navigate the university and to form meaningful connections with my fellow scholars. This has demonstrably helped further my academic and professional development.”
–Sebastian Pastrana, Cohort 6 Scholar, Biochemistry Major
