About Us

The Brandeis Network of Arab Students (BNAS) is dedicated to celebrating and promoting the rich identities of the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) region. Our mission is to deepen understanding of MENA history, culture, and heritage within the Brandeis community through inclusive, educational programming. BNAS strives to create a welcoming space where individuals of MENA and non-MENA backgrounds can engage in meaningful dialogue and cultural exchange, free from political affiliations or external influence. Through community-building and service, we aim to foster a deeper awareness of our roles as students, global citizens, and active members of diverse and interconnected communities.
