Brandeis Undergraduate Segal Fellow

Originally from Snellville, Georgia, Anthony Ruiz is a senior at Brandeis University, double-majoring in Anthropology and Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies (LACLS), with minors in Business and Hispanic Studies. He is passionate about sustainable development, non-profit management, marketing as an agent of social change, and LGBTQ+ advocacy. Throughout the course of multiple marketing internships, Anthony has cultivated a specialized knowledge of enacting social change through marketing campaigns. On-campus, Anthony is the Social Media Marketing Coordinator with the Department of Student Engagement and a Community Advisor. Throughout his work with the Department of Student Engagement, Anthony seeks to engage students through online and offline initiatives and programming, as well as supporting student club leaders in building engagement at their events through targeted marketing campaigns. His experiences as a Posse Foundation Scholar and Eli J. & Phyllis N. Segal Citizen Leadership Program Fellow have prepared me with the skills to support organizations devoted to ensuring culturally aware and socially conscious development strategy. Anthony is excited to continue to build up his skillset and meet professionals in the Boston and Atlanta areas who share his interest for business as a means of social impact.
