Planning Committee
The Festival of the Arts Planning Committee is a group of Brandeis staff and students that collaborates on outreach, programming, logistical planning, and event management. It is a unique opportunity for staff and students across campus to work together and learn from one another.
The committee welcomes representatives from across academic departments as well as clubs, offices, and departments (Student Engagement, Community Living, etc.) so that each area of the arts and student life has a voice in the planning of a festival that really belongs to Brandeis
