2026 Recipient | Rosalind Kabrhel, Associate Professor of the Practice of Legal Studies

Nominator Comments

• “She is among the first to volunteer to serve on committees at the school or university level and seems to always be able to say yes when she is directly asked to serve. She is willing to pivot in her teaching to meet new objectives of the FYS, go the extra step for approvals of courses as DEIS-US or DJW, and she supports the university's fundraising efforts through engagement in faculty in the field.”
• "Professor Kabrhel brings kindness, humility, and dedication to all of the work that she does with students at Brandeis. In addition to working with students in the classroom, as a founder of the Brandeis Educational Justice Initiative, she has been able to engage students in meaningful work outside of school in the greater community."
