THANK YOU!
Thank you to all the sophomores who took part in this year’s Sophomore Spirit Series events! We’re especially grateful to those who shared feedback to help us improve the program for next year’s sophomores. Stay tuned for new programs for juniors launching in the 2025–26 academic year!
Congratulations to our two winners! Two respondents to the S3 survey were randomly chosed to win a Brown zip-up hoodie!

Remember, the Curricular Resource Center (CRC) has many amazing resources for sophomores, like the MAPS mentoring program. They are currently accepting applications for rising sophomores who would like to have a mentor, and rising juniors (and seniors) who would like to be mentors! Read all about it:
Apply to MAPS 2025-2026
The CRC’s Matched Advising Program for Sophomores (MAPS) is a peer mentoring program that pairs sophomores with upperclassmen that share academic and other interests. Mentors offer support, helping sophomores navigate their academic, professional, and social experiences at or beyond Brown. MAPS also works with various university programs to organize info sessions, open hours, and community-building events for sophomores throughout the year.
We welcome applications from sophomores seeking mentors and invite juniors and seniors to apply to become mentors.
Rising Sophomores: Apply to be a mentee!
Rising Juniors/Seniors: Apply to be a mentor!
