Undergraduate Departmental Representatives

Undergraduate Departmental Representatives (UDR) serve as a resource and representative for fellow majors and potential majors, and bring student concerns and ideas to the department faculty. They provide open avenues of communication between undergraduate students and departmental faculty. UDRs serve as student representatives, organize events for majors and other interested students and provide feedback to the department regarding undergraduate issues including but not limited to scheduling course offerings and more. They are your main contact or liaison to the psychology department.

For more information about UDRs, visit the Dean of Arts and Sciences Web site.

dshim@brandeis.edu

Daniel Shimansky is a junior hailing from Boca Raton, Florida.  At Brandeis, he is simultaneously pursuing a psychology major and completing the pre-medical studies curriculum.  Dan's interest in psychology has grown exponentially as he has learned the importance of its application to the world of sports.  As a competitive tennis player and student-athlete, he now recognizes that an awareness of psychological factors and a strong intellectual and practical grounding in psychology can separate GOOD competitors from GREAT competitors!  Dan feels privileged to serve as a UDR for the Department of Psychology, and to be available to help any of you make your psychology major most enjoyable and meaningful.  If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback about Psychology at Brandeis, Dan would love to hear from you.

Adina Weissman, is a junior from Philadelphia, PA.  A Psychology and Economics double- major with a minor in International and Global Studies, Adina grew up in Houston, TX and Raleigh, NC, so she's all about that Southern charm! One thing Adina loves to do is people- watch, and with all her psychology knowledge, she believes she is better able to understand why those people act in certain ways, which she finds really exciting! Adina also love to volunteer and help people, which she tries to do often here at Brandeis, and using her knowledge from her psychology courses when interacting with the people she volunteers with.  If you have any questions about the Psychology department or Brandeis in general, please feel free to send Adina an email, or even if you just want to say hi.
