Brandeis University's Community Newspaper — Waltham, Mass.
Any Brandeis student walking by Chapels’ Field on a given afternoon might bear witness to a group of men running drills and practicing rigorously. Assuming that there are no brooms between the legs of players, chances are that these athletes are the members of TRON, Brandeis’ men’s Ultimate Frisbee team, working hard to prepare for […]
The campus bakery will go into overdrive this week, preparing pies for the Brandeis community just in time for Thanksgiving. Each year, Dining Services organizes a pie sale to help make Thanksgiving an easier day for students, staff and faculty. This year, Sarah Conduragis, the new Marketing Manager of Dining Services, has turned the event […]
Being a first-year in college is certainly a different experience than being in high school, yet somehow it still feels natural. Instead of walking through crowded narrow hallways to get to class, I’m climbing the Rabb steps and hearing leaves crunch under my feet. It takes 10 minutes to walk to class instead of three, […]
As a sophomore, it’s easy to love being a Brandeis student. I haven’t yet started stressing about what to do with the rest of my life, but I’ve learned how to work the system. I know the best times to get in line at Usdan, the best classes to take and the fastest way to […]
Being a junior at Brandeis is like having a mid-life crisis. Now, more than halfway through my time at Brandeis, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel—and I’m a little depressed about it. I woke up one day and realized that my time at Brandeis is finite. A little older and […]
I have heard from various elders (a.k.a my mom) that the older you get the faster time goes. I never believed her as much as I have over the last few months. Senior year has been flying by and all of my senior friends agree with me. How is it already mid-November? And more importantly, […]
Last spring a committee met to devise ways to brighten Brandeis’ spirits. After several long months of difficult changes, the group wanted to find small things that could bring the Brandeis community together. Several months of planning lead to the creation of the first Brandeis Kindness Day. The event coincides with World Kindness Week, which […]
Adam Grossack ’14 has started the process of forming a bridge club at Brandeis, but he plans to serve as a mentor, rather than a competitor. He’s had enough experience competing recently—in Philadelphia a few weeks ago, he was named the world champion of bridge under 21. Grossack has been playing bridge since he was […]
For the 23rd year, Brandeis students have taken Halloween, a night associated with free candy and hyper children, and transformed it into a night of giving back to the Waltham community. This year, approximately 200 volunteers participated in Halloween for the Hungry, Waltham Group’s biggest annual event. Halloween for the Hungry is a food and […]
Before this weekend, I could not actively visualize a quarter million people because I had never been around that many people at once. But this Saturday, I managed to survive both a parking lot with approximately 10,000 people and a rally with 250,000 people. In theory, I knew that these numbers were large but, until […]
