Janay Brown

Community Engagement Intern

Janay is a proud product of Kalamazoo, and a Kalamazoo Promise scholar. Currently attending Western Michigan University, she is majoring in Gender and Women’s Studies. Recently she was the lead student facilitator for the Bronco B.U.D.S. program at Western Michigan University; a program meant to give local sixth graders an early opportunity to experience what college is like.

Within her role as the community engagement intern, she is excited to see the partnerships fostered and collaborative efforts put forth by the Kalamazoo Promise and the community of Kalamazoo firsthand. She is a firm believer in creating and maintaining space for those underserved and marginalized. In her free time, she pegs herself as an amateur movie critic and a certified “sneakerhead”.
