Jerome Brooks

My name is Jerome Brooks, and I am currently a sophomore with a dual major in Criminal Justice and Business Administration. I'm an international student from the Caribbean island of St.Maarten/St.Martin. Ethnically, I am of African and European decent. Coming to Boston for university has enabled me to continue living in an area where diversity and multiculturalism are both encouraged and honored.

At Northeastern, I'm an active member of the Honors Student Council (HSC), the Caribbean Student Organization (CSO), and a brother of Sigma Beta Rho Fraternity, Inc. In my spare time, I enjoy jet-skiing, exercising, and hanging out with family and friends.

UPDATES!!!

Hello Readers:

It’s been quite some time since I last posted a blog. Much has been going on, so let me give you an update.

A few weeks before the academic school year started, I underwent a very intense training session developed by Northeastern’s Residential Life. That’s right…I am now a resident assistant (RA) in Speare Hall! During the past month, I’ve been meeting my residents and getting to know them on a personal level. I’ve had the opportunity to host a few programs aimed at getting them acquainted with each other and building community. Being a mentor and someone they can come to with any problems they might be experiencing has enabled me to provide aid and act as a role model for others – It’s been fun so far!

This year, I was also the recruitment chair for my fraternity. Recruitment week was rather stressful, but went well. During this week, my brothers and I scheduled events designed for interested guys to come out and learn more about the values and ideal of our fraternity. This was also an opportunity for the rushes to learn more about the brothers and for the brothers to learn more about the rushes and their interests. Having met and interacted with many intelligent young gentlemen, I believe it is safe to say that my fraternity has a bright future ahead!

As far as classes go, I have a really good schedule this fall. I’m taking a number of interesting classes this semester, one of which being Psychology – Drugs & Behavior. The professor for this class is really good at entertaining while getting her point across. Walking into her class and listening to her lecture is really a breath of fresh air! I am eagerly looking forward to what the semester has in store!

That’s all for now…until next time, take care!
