How to Step Up
Respond to "Widsom Wanted" ads
Hire a Brandeis intern or full-time employee
From our president
"If you are an alum, we are relying on you. Our future is very much in your hands. Find a way to connect or reconnect with your school. Mentor our students. Hire our graduates. You have rights as a member of this family, but you have responsibilities as well. Remember who you were when you were here and connect with that person, and with us."
President Lawrence
Inaugural Address, March 31, 2011

"Having had an amazing experience as a student at Brandeis, I had no doubt in my mind that I wanted to maintain my connection to Brandeis as a professional. When my legal-strategy consulting firm was looking for an intern, Brandeis students were at the top of my list, knowing that I could count on bringing an intelligent, motivated student into my office. After working with a Brandeis student this summer, my connection to and confidence in the school has only been strengthened." - Daniel Garrie '99
For more information about recruiting at Brandeis or to post open positions, please contact Cary Weir Lytle '98, associate director of employer relations.
Fund a World of Work intern
Make a direct impact on a student’s educational experience by making a gift in support of the Hiatt Career Center’s World of Work (WOW) program.
WOW provides generous stipends for undergraduate students pursuing unpaid summer internships. Not only do the students gain valuable real-world work experience, they return to campus with a sharper career focus and a better appreciation for the types of skills and knowledge they will need after graduation.
By eliminating financial barriers, the WOW program enables students to explore career fields, gain new insights, and learn about the world of work. Students may work in any career field, domestic or abroad, for public, private, or non-profit organizations.
Learn more about the program and discover the impact that our students’ internship experiences have had on them by downloading this brochure (pdf) or visiting the new World of Work Summer Internship Blog. If you would like more information about Hiatt’s World of Work program, please contact Joseph Du Pont, dean of the Hiatt Career Center, at (781) 736-3613.
