Why Brown Statement: “I chose Brown University due to the incredible amount of support it will provide in my journey as both a developing student and maturing athlete. With Brown’s Open Curriculum, I will have the flexibility and encouragement needed to pursue a degree that I am passionate about while allowing me to continue my love for swimming and compete at the Division I level. Brown is a place I will easily be able to call home and I cannot wait to be part of the family for the next four years. Go Bruno!"
