Brandeis University's Community Newspaper — Waltham, Mass.
Where were you when you first heard about the November 2008 attacks on Mumbai, India? More importantly, where were you after? Did you read the newspapers or watch the nightly news to get a sense of how the events transpired? Did you attend a lecture or a peace vigil in support of the lives that […]
In a drawer in her office, Kathleen Maloney keeps a file of thank you notes she’s received from students and their parents over the past 11 years. Aside from these physical reminders of the countless patients she’s helped during her time as director of Brandeis’ Health Center, Maloney also holds onto more than a few […]
Few people would honestly say they came to Brandeis for the athletics. But while the school may not be the powerhouse varsity teams of some bigger and older schools, Brandeis is far from devoid of athletic prowess. One look at the club sports program and it becomes evident that perhaps Brandeis’ athleticism, or lack thereof, […]
Photo gallery for the Career Fair. We’ve seen it in the cutbacks at school. We’ve seen it in the statistics on the number of people losing their jobs every week. The hurting economy is all around us, but we have not yet been subject to the full force of what President Obama has called “the […]
After a season of unprecedented success, the Brandeis University Mock Trial Association will head to Easton, Pennsylvania next week to participate in an Opening Round Championship Site tournament. Finishing in the top six teams in Easton will allow the Brandeis team to compete in the National Championship Tournament in Iowa. Last year was the first […]

Certified cardiopulmonary resuscitation instructor Dan Saxe ’12 stood at a diagonal angle to Chilakamarri and watched closely, questioning her to […]
I went to a Moroccan-style restaurant the other night–a Tuesday, I believe, at about 9:30 p.m.–and walked out of that place about two and a half hours later, still hungry, and having paid the waitress a tip of zero percent. None of my friends tipped her that night either. In fact, no one did, because […]
If you’ve ever walked the aisles of the local Hannaford’s or Walgreens you’ve probably noticed that going green doesn’t come cheap. Like many other things, many people would say you can’t put a price on saving the environment. But with products that are environmentally but hardly wallet friendly, it would certainly seem you can.
