The Justice Brandeis Society is a community of philanthropically minded alumni, parents and friends whose generous support strengthens the university in significant ways. Members support Brandeis in its efforts to attract visionary faculty and students who are drawn to the founding principles that remain at its core today: a commitment to learning and critical thinking and a dedication to advancing justice and creating a better world.
