Undergraduate Departmental Representatives

Benjamin Federlin '15 

Ben Federlin is a rising junior majoring in Classical Studies (Archaeology and Ancient History Track) and History with minors in Linguistics and Medieval and Renaissance studies. He is an intern in the Eunice M. Cohen Classical Artifact Research Center where he recently finished working on an exhibit on Roman glass which is now on display in the library. Outside of Classics he is very active in Brandeis' Shakespeare group Hold Thy Peace and the humor publication Gravity Magazine. He would be happy to answer any questions one might have about Classical Studies or really anything else.

Kristina Birthisel '13 

Kristina (Krissy) Birthisel is a rising senior with a major in Classical Studies, disproving the belief that every Brandeis student must have 3 majors and half a dozen minors. Though she had no intention of majoring in Classics when she came to college, she was drawn to the department because her professors truly cared, both for their subject and their students - and they inspired the same love of Classics in her. She does not bite, she swears, so come talk to her about anything!

Alison Crandall '13

Alison Crandall is a rising senior double majoring in Chemistry and Classical Studies (Classical Archaeology and Ancient History track). For the 2011-2012 year, she is building a model of the House of the Vettii in Pompeii as a Eunice M. Lebowitz Cohen Fellow. Alison discovered Classical Studies accidentally and, impressed by the passion, enthusiasm, and community of the Professors, students, and graduate students of the department, fell in love with the subject area. She welcomes any questions about Classical Studies (or Chemistry) and the fellowship program, but particularly enjoys questions about connecting Classics with other subject areas.

Alice Geldman '13

Alice Gelman is very excited to be joining the UDR team for the Classics Department during her final year at Brandeis. She is majoring in Psychology and Classical Studies (Latin literature track) and minoring in Computer Science and Philosophy. Her insterests in Classical Studies include Latin poetry and mythology. Outside of the Classics, she enjoys drawing, cooking, and taking care of her pet rats. Alice is more than happy to answer any questions about class selection, the Classical Studies program at Brandeis, or just to chat!
