Brandeis University is a private research institution with a liberal arts focus in Waltham/Boston, Massachusetts. The campus is located on 235-acres and the residence and community unite through events such as the Festival of the Arts, a campus wide event to celebrate the creativity of students, faculty and staff, and distinguished guest artists. Free pizza at midnight during finals and intramural sports such as bubble soccer, water battleship, and pickleball foster a sense of unity and excitement outside of the classroom.
The Hiatt Career Center on campus is there to help all students whether you are a first-year student still weighing what majors are a good fit for you or a senior ready to complete job applications. The Rise Together Mentor Network is a virtual space where Brandeis students can practice networking skills and connect with alumni mentors. Light the Night is an annual first-year tradition to close out the first day of New Undergraduate Student Orientation; students are given blue lanterns and write down a hope or dream for their time at Brandeis. Afterwards, the freshmen share their first dinner together on the Great Lawn. Other traditions include Springfest with an annual concert held on Chapels Field the weekend before final exams. Notable alumni include businessman Jeffrey Lurie, actress Debra Messing, actor Tony Goldwyn, and philosopher and author Angela Davis.
