About




Brandeis Means Community
At Brandeis, we encourage our students to explore their passions, build close connections, and achieve great things. And it all starts with a supportive, close-knit community.

The Division of Student Affairs, along with partners and faculty across campus, offer a wide range of services and programs that maximize student potential, remove barriers to learning, and create a healthy and engaged community. We’re committed to providing an environment that sets our students up for success and well-being.

This Giving DEISday, we are asking parents and families to give in honor of the students, with 100% of gifts to The Parents Fund directed towards strengthening our campus and student community in these priority areas:

  • Student Well-Being: Resources and services that keep students safe and help them thrive, develop and make healthy choices.
  • Community Spaces: Provide welcoming and comfortable opportunities for students to gather and learn.
  • Student Leadership: Help students build connections and navigate the academic and social landscape of college.
  • Family Resources: Resources for families to help support their students throughout their Brandeis experience.

Today, your impact will be even greater! If we reach 350 parent gifts of any amount by the end of the day, it will unlock a $10,000 match from a generous Brandeis family.

Today's the Day to Support the Class of 2029!

Today begins our 48-hour giving challenge to support the future Brandeis Class of 2029 — and we need your help.

Right now, high school seniors across the country are deciding where to call home for the next four years, just like you once did. You made your choice — and now you can help them make theirs. Your gift to scholarships makes a Brandeis education accessible for more students. 

And here’s the exciting part:

If 250 donors give to scholarships by tomorrow, May 1, it will unlock an additional $25,000 to further support the incoming Class of 2029 thanks to Stevie Rachmuth ’14.

Gifts of all sizes make a difference and help us reach our goal of 250 donors. Let’s make Brandeis home for the next generation. Thank you for supporting our students.
