The Brown Foundation Freshmen Leadership Organization
Brown Scholars created the Brown Foundation Freshmen Leadership Organization (BFFLO) to mentor and support incoming Brown Scholars. With oversight by Ms. Smith, each freshman Brown Scholar is paired with an upperclassman in the same major who serves as their mentor.
BFFLO also hosts motivational and/or wellness speakers each semester, workshops, social get togethers and one-on-one support as needed. In 2025, BFFLO initiated two new traditions- a social media presence and a student-run newspaper, The Brown Scholar Wordsmith.
BFFLO leadership is supported by two senior co-Presidents, two junior co-Vice Presidents, and a team of Brown Scholar officers, including two freshman interns.
