Campus Resources

Brandeis has many resources in our community that may be helpful to connect with. Please see below for some of our Campus Partners and Student Organizations, or visit Support at Brandeis for a more comprehensive list.

Campus Departments and Programs

The Academic Services team partners with you to build a balanced schedule, access peer resources for group study and advising, guide you with connecting to faculty, and provide access to resources on campus to help you achieve academic success. We are also available to brainstorm and provide feedback on your academic plans.
In order to promote the safety and health of all Brandeis students, the Care Team evaluates and addresses student behavior that is concerning, and coordinates the resources of the university to intervene and provide necessary supports.
The Brandeis Pantry provides pre-packaged bags of non-perishable items to any Brandeis student who is facing food insecurity or struggling to afford other common items such as hygiene and toiletry items. To register, please fill out this form, and for additional information, please contact pantry@brandeis.edu.

Health and Wellness Promotion (HAWP) supports student well-being, coordinating campus-wide health and wellness efforts through evidence-based promotion and prevention strategies, such as educational programs and events, health information and resources, and peer education.
The Brandeis Health Center promotes wellness, preserves health, and enables academic achievement for the students of Brandeis University by providing high-quality integrated clinical services and care that is patient-centered and patient-focused. All students enrolled 3/4 or full-time in a degree-granting program who report their insurance to the school annually (through University Health Plans) have access to health services by appointment.  
The Brandeis Intercultural Center (ICC) serves as the umbrella office for 17 diverse student clubs and organizations.

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.
The Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) is responsible for addressing all issues of discrimination, harassment and sexual violence within the Brandeis community.

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.
Members of the Ombuds staff are available both in-person and virtually as a confidential, independent, impartial, and informal resource for all members of the Brandeis community including undergraduates and graduate students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

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.
Providing education, empowerment and support related to violence, including sexual assault, sexual harassment, dating/domestic violence and stalking.

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.
Public Safety is a service-oriented, professional police department dedicated to our campus community’s safety and well-being. Our staff includes about 30 full-time and part-time police officers who provide 24/7 protection of life and property on our 325-acre campus.
While appreciating the strengths and needs of all students, Student Accessibility Support seeks to promote the growth of undergraduate and graduate students through individual connections, campus-wide initiatives and collaboration with others in the Brandeis community.

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

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.
