Change is a constant in today’s workplace — from shifting priorities and new leadership to technology upgrades and team restructuring. Whether the change is big or small, planned or unexpected, it can stir up stress, uncertainty, or even resistance. But with the right tools, you can move through transitions with resilience and confidence.

Join us for an interactive workshop designed specifically for Brandeis staff at all stages of their careers. You will have the opportunity to reflect on how you respond to change, learn practical strategies for coping, and engage in real-world scenarios with your peers. Leave with tools you can apply immediately to your work life. REGISTER

We have entered into the shoulder months for heating/cooling; the months whose temperatures range between 40 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. During this time of year, it is also expected to experience significant changes in temperature throughout the day. Our campus operates on a dual system, where buildings are either in heating or cooling mode but not both.

Starting on Sept. 29, Facilities will begin the switch over from cooling to heating systems in the Residence Halls & Academic buildings, then move to the Science Buildings. We understand that at times this may be uncomfortable, but we ask for your patience during these New England shoulder months. If your space becomes too hot at certain points during the day, we recommend opening a window to let in cooler air from outside.

The complete switch-over will likely take a month to fully complete. For building temperature standards or energy conservation policies, please visit the Facilities Services building temperature guidelines.

Bring your family and friends to campus on Saturday, October 11 for Homecoming & Hall of Fame 2025!
