Office of Undergraduate Affairs

Would you like to support your peers, and get paid to make a difference? Academic Services is hiring BUGS tutor positions for the next academic year. Open positions include General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Study Skills, Computer Science, Calculus, French, and much more! Positions will be posted on Workday. To apply, please submit a resume and cover letter on Workday.

If you have any questions, please contact Julia Mani, Director of Peer Academic Support (jmani@brandeis.edu).

As we approach the end of the semester, students are encouraged to check out the Learning Tools on the SAS website, which includes tools for studying, organization, note-taking, focusing, writing, and more. If there is a resource that you think others would find useful, email SAS at access@brandeis.edu and we’ll add it!

Do you get more accomplished when you are outside of your room or when working alongside others? Come join the SAS Fellows and the BUGS Study Skills Tutors for a quiet place to study and the opportunity to seek guidance or study tips, organizational help, etc. This is open to all students who need a place to study outside of their residence hall room and benefit from doing homework alongside peers (body doubling). Free snacks will be provided!

Spring 2026 Final Exam Hours:

• Monday, May 4th: 7pm - 9pm: Goldfarb Library (Mezzanine level), Gardner Jackson Room
• Tuesday, May 5th: 12pm - 2pm: Farber Library (Mezzanine level), Group Study Room 2

If you're taking a short break from studying and writing, please consider using a few minutes to complete our anonymous Academic Advising survey (closes May 12). Academic Services reviews this data every year to inform their practices moving forward, and every submission gives them a clearer picture of your needs as students. Participants will be entered into a raffle for campus bookstore gift cards.

For emergencies, contact Public Safety at 781-736-3333 (on-campus issues) or 911 (off-campus issues).

Have you ever thought about conducting scientific research in South Africa? Teaching English in Sri Lanka? Pursuing a Master's degree in Sweden? Brandeis seniors and recent graduates have won Fulbright grants to support these and other year-long research projects all over the world. If you are interested in applying this fall for a grant that would start in the fall of 2026, or if you'd just like to learn more about the program and whether it's a match for you, reach out to fellowships@brandeis.edu to opt in to our "Fulbright Updates" email list.

Current juniors and graduating seniors interested in spending time abroad after graduation are especially encouraged to apply. (Please note that the Fulbright U.S. Student Program is a US government-sponsored program and applicants must be citizens or nationals of the United States of America at the time of application; permanent residents are not eligible.) 

Rhodes and Marshall Scholarships are post-undergraduate awards that provide funding for Americans to pursue graduate degrees in the UK. Applications are due very early in the fall semester, and all applicants must earn the university endorsement before proceeding to the national competition, so current juniors and seniors interested in applying in Fall 2026 should start thinking about these opportunities NOW! You can learn more about these and other fellowship opportunities here, or schedule an appointment with Meredith Monaghan by emailing fellowships@brandeis.edu, either to talk about a specific fellowship application or to explore which opportunities might be a good match for you.
