The Brandeis Intercultural Center is committed to providing a nurturing and inclusive haven where racially minoritized and Indigenous groups can come together to connect, build coalitions and cultivate mutual understanding. Our goal is to foster a sense of belonging and engagement within the Brandeis community on matters of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice.
Brandeis University is committed to providing its students, staff and faculty with an environment conducive to learning, and working, and where all people are treated with respect and dignity. OEO helps the University comply with laws regarding discrimination, harassment and sexual violence, including Title VI, Title VII, Title IX, ADA, and the Rehabilitation Act Section 504.
In our role as ombuds, we support the dignity, well-being, and safety of each person who visits us by providing a safe space to talk confidentially and off the record about difficult situations and offering conflict resolution support.
The Prevention, Advocacy & Resource Center (PARC) is a confidential, student-centered resource serving members of the Brandeis community who have been impacted by violence and those who want to contribute to the anti-violence movement.
The Center for Spiritual Life offers a safe space for students to explore their spirituality and find their place in the world, on their terms.
Whether students are rooted in a particular faith tradition or searching for answers to fundamental human questions, we are here. We have staff chaplains trained in different faith traditions who help students find a supportive community, access a non-judgmental spiritual mentor, and find opportunities to serve others.
Swipe Out Hunger is a program designed to support Brandeis students who are experiencing food insecurity and educate our campus community about food insecurity. Brandeis students can confidentially request meal swipes in blocks of 5 by completing the Emergency Fund Application through Brandeis' partnership with Swipe Out Hunger. Meals must be used within two weeks and cannot be used for guest meals.
Any student experiencing food insecurity can request meal swipes up to a maximum of 20 per semester, provided meals remain available. When used, the swipes will display as regular meal swipes at the cash register. As with all meal swipes, these do not carry over between semesters. Meal swipes can be used at both the Farm Table at Sherman and the Kosher Table in Sherman, as well as Usdan Kitchen (view menu and hours).
Please note that meal swipes are not available during the summer months.

Deisvergent is SAS's student-run neurodiversity and neurodivergence affinity group for students who identify with autism, ADHD or other neurodiversities. New members are encouraged to attend! This is a great opportunity to meet people, share resources, and help shape the group into whatever our community needs it to be.
The Brandeis Intercultural Center is home to 17 affiliated student clubs and organizations. More information on each group can be found at the link above.
The Student Accessibility Support (SAS) Fellows support their peers in their adjustment to college life, both academically and socially. SAS Fellows are current Brandeis University undergraduate students who have had experience effectively navigating campus resources.
The SAS Fellows Program works to create a welcoming, stigma-free environment that promotes disability awareness so that all students have an opportunity to flourish and embrace differences. Students who identify as having a disability(ies)/condition(s) may benefit from meeting with a SAS Fellow. By having a conversation with someone who has been in a similar position, students will be able to relate and seek meaningful guidance.
