Welcome to Brett/Brooks!

Greetings from your Residence Director:

Welcome! We are excited that you will be living in Brett/Brooks for this academic year. You can look forward to an enriching experience where you will be meeting other individuals with exciting talents and backgrounds. When you arrive on campus and check-in, you will meet some of our Resident Assistants (RAs). Those RAs will continue to be resources for you throughout the year. They have planned many activities for you so that you can build connections with other students in your community. Please know that the Brett/Brooks staff is here as a resource that will help you connect with UMass Amherst in order to promote your academic experience. Please do not hesitate to ask us any questions!

My name is Sammy Tabari. As the Residence Director (RD) of Brett/Brooks, I am here to address any concerns you may have. I am always happy to answer your questions and help you benefit from your experience at UMass Amherst. I can provide you with academic and career advice, give you information about University resources, and tell you about campus jobs that can help build your resume! Once you arrive on campus you can contact me by stopping by my office, located on the first floor of Brett Hall, room 113A. I look forward to meeting you!

Greetings from your ARD

Hello Brett/Brooks students! My name is Dylan Larke. I am your Assistant Residence Director (ARD) for the Brett/Brooks cluster. I am a doctoral student in the Language Culture and Literacy program. Part of my responsibility as an ARD is to assist Sammy, the RD, in the general management of the Brett/Brooks cluster. I also advise the House Council and Community Leaders in the cluster. My office is located on the first floor of Brett Hall, room 114, so please swing by and say hello once you arrive on campus. I look forward to meeting you!

Brett/Brooks’ diverse environment represents a community in which students have the opportunity to live and learn. We emphasize participation and involvement on the part of every student in designing and executing programs, as well as building a living and learning community. One benefit of putting students first, for example, has been the active recruitment and participation of mixed groups of first-year and returning students in providing leadership roles as Community Leaders and House Council Officers. Please consider joining one of them.

Welcome to Brett/Brooks! Have a great and productive year!
