PE 44A The First-Year Experience: Spirit, Mind and Body

This course has been offered in both the fall and spring semesters since the fall semester of 2005.  The course creates a unique and participatory learning environment in which first-year students are provided with the tools to help ensure their transition into Brandeis and success both in and out of the classroom. Specific topics include: Diversity, Approaching Faculty, Time and Stress Management, Health and Wellness, and Communication Skills, to name a few.  The course is coordinated and facilitated by the Department of Community Living.

Faculty Mixer

Faculty from across campus are invited to introduce themselves, share personal college stories advice and mingle with new students in both the fall and spring semesters.  Faculty Mixers are coordinated by Academic Services/Roosevelt Fellows and the Department of Community Living.

Midyear Mixer

This dessert reception brings new and current Midyear students together in both the fall and spring semesters.  Midyear Mixers are coordinated by the Departments of Community Living, Orientation and Student Activities.

Stein Night

A night of karaoke and Brandeis Trivia at "the Stein" takes place on the first night of classes in both the fall and spring semesters. Stein Nights are coordinated by Academic Services/Roosevelt Fellows and the Department of Community Living.
