Brandeis University's Community Newspaper — Waltham, Mass.
Brandeis is an amazing school, founded on the principles of allowing any student to attend, regardless of race or religion. Yet if our school’s principles highlight this inclusiveness, why is it so impossible to navigate? Why is our school so inaccessible to the handicapped? About a month ago I had an unfortunate skiing accident, tearing […]
Commencement is an annual tradition where graduating students are able to look back at their years at Brandeis with nostalgia and look ahead to their future plans. Students can celebrate surrounded by their loved ones and friends, who have been there every step of the way. This atmosphere would have been jeopardized if Brandeis had […]
The Rose Art Museum has a significant collection of art, and related lectures are a very efficient way of exploring and expanding the interests of the students in the subject of art. Fernand Léger’s “La Femme en Bleu” was a recent topic. Brandeis faculty members Sabine von Mering (associate professor of German and Women’s and […]
This past Sunday, Brandeis had two big events happen simultaneously: the annual Admitted Students Day and ’Deis Day designed to promote school spirit. Both days not only require many volunteer services, but also a lot of mental capacity. As students, we were told by school officials that “Admitted Students Day is the single most important […]

In front of an audience of students, candidates presented their platforms and plans for campus. Representatives from these various […]

After a four-day rest, the softball team faced Lasell College for a doubleheader at Brandeis on Tuesday. In two mercy-rule-shortened games the Judges dominated winning 8-0 in six innings and 14-1 in five. The first game began with Amanda Genovese ’15, as she singled on a bunt and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt […]
“Hairspray,” presented by the Brandeis Hillel Theater Group and co-sponsored by Hillel at Brandeis University is, to put it simply, a hit. People were lining up an hour before the show started, and by the time 7:50 p.m. rolled around, the SCC was half full. When the show started, the theater was full and the […]
MLK & Friends Club presented “SPEAK: A Scholar’s Story” on Thursday evening. The event featured a panel of three Brandeis alumnae, all of whom were MLK Scholars while at school. They shared tidbits of wisdom about leadership, motivation, how to get a job and most importantly: the power of relationships. Cynthia Jackson ’16, president of […]
The rules regarding hanging up posters would be draconian if they made sense. So all posters or fliers must be “approved/stamped by the Department of Student Activities or the Campus Center Team,” that much I can follow. I am a little perplexed by what the Campus Center Team is, but apparently both are located at […]
