This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Brandeis chapter.

Name: Gabby Warshay

Year: 2018

Hometown: Providence, Rhode Island

Majors: Anthropology, HSSP

Minors: Economics, Peace and Conflict Studies

Her Campus: Most memorable summer moment?

Gabby Warshaw: I traveled to Slovenia with my dad. He was doing business there and I got to travel with him and tour the country. The country, which I had never even heard of is basically double the size of Rhode Island, but it was so beautiful. I am really happy I got to see such a different part of the world.

HC: Why Brandeis?

GW: Choosing a college was really difficult but once I decided to take a gap year, I was a lot more optimistic about looking at schools. I saw Brandeis and realized it was such a great atmosphere of students and faculty. People just seemed really happy here and I wanted to be a part of that.

HC: What are you involved with on campus?

GW: I am involved in J Street, I work at a Hebrew school off campus, I’m a chatter in Admissions, and I’m also a part of Kinetic (shout out to Kinetic!) which is a really cool startup think tank here at Brandeis. In Kinetic, I am in an environmental sustainability group and we work on public policy proposals and social action initiatives. It is all in the beginning stages right now but pretty exciting.

HC: Brandeis has a slew of unique clubs and organizations (Cheese club, anyone?). What’s one that you have yet to do but hope to explore during your time at Brandeis?

GW: Students for Environmental Action (SEA) because the club tackles environmental issues which I believe should be on everybody’s radar, but often are not. Also, I’d love to apply to be an admissions ambassador.

HC: Favorite Class at Brandeis so far?

GW: Introduction to Anthropology with Sarah Lamb. Sarah Lamb is a rock star. The class presented me with such a cool way to look at the world. Having taken a gap year in Israel and coming to Brandeis afterwards, I just think that this was an awesome class to start off with.

HC: What do you hope to accomplish before the end of this year?

GW: Get a fun summer job.

I am a double major in Anthropology and International/Global Studies with a minor in Creativity, the Arts, and Social Transformation at Brandeis University. As a native Southern Californian, I have a born passion for avocados and an innate dread of cold weather. In my free time I love cooking (with avocados of course), drawing and writing.
