The Commitment to Service Award, represented by a pin seniors wear on graduation day, is given to hard-working students who first must dedicate and record hundreds of hours of community service during their four years at Brandeis.

New Cinemax show breaks boundaries

Coked-up surgeons, rampant disease and eccentric and outdated surgical methods from the turn-of-the-century are highlighted in “The Knick,” Cinemax’s new series.

Cite Buzzfeed and its peers with caution

Buzzfeed and websites like it are fine for taking personality quizzes in the third row of a lecture hall during class, but they are not good sources of information. It’s such a basic statement, “Don’t get your news from places that are decidedly not news,” but it’s something a lot of people find hard to […]


UDRs advise students and advocate within departments

Since the fall of 1998, Brandeis’ Undergraduate Departmental Representatives have served as intermediaries between undergraduate students and the department faculty members. They act as the voices of the students to the Undergraduate Advising Heads, relaying news back and forth between the two groups. Bright, enthusiastic and well versed in their respective majors, these juniors and […]
