Meet the Orientation Leaders!
Orientation Leaders (OL's) will serve as your guides to Brandeis! You will receive an email from your assigned OL prior to your arrival, but you are welcome to reach out to any of the OL's with questions. When you arrive on-campus, you will join your Orientation group (your OL and some of your peers) for portions of the Orientation program. Don't hesitate to ask the OL's questions you have about Brandeis!

My favorite thing about Brandeis is: The resources available for both science and humanities students.

I do research and TA (Teacher's Assistant) for STEM classes and am still able to venture into the humanities, which is a facet unique to Brandeis in its variety of opportunities.
