This year, Leslie Kamel ’16, Samantha Way ’16 and Breanna Vizlakh ’15 have decided to revive Brandeis’ dormant French and Francophone Club. Brandeis is known to have hundreds of different clubs that cater to an array of interests and causes. It may come as a surprise that something as prevalent on a college campus as […]

Last Friday evening, you might’ve seen some students walking around dressed to the nines looking stylish on campus. They were most likely dressed up for the SKIN Fashion Show which was hosted by BAASA (Brandeis Asian American Student Association) and co-sponsored by Project Plus One and the Fashion Design Club for Asian Pacific American Heritage […]
“This is not your 10th grade English class,” said Sarah Waldron ’17 in her director’s note for Brandeis Players’ performance of “1984.” This much was clear instantaneously, as audience members entered the SCC theater on Thursday to see that Winston (Reno Kersey ’17) was already splayed across the stage on the ground, motionless. Chains were […]
