The Midyear Class of 2028 embarked on their long-awaited Brandeis journey on Sunday.

The newest Brandeisians and their families were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm by Community Advisors, Orientation Leaders, and staff as they arrived on campus and settled into their new home.

Midyear students are an integral part of the Brandeis community, selected for their academic excellence, diverse talents, and potential to thrive on campus.

They spend their fall semester exploring opportunities such as internships, travel, work, or academic programs — bringing a wealth of experiences and a fresh energy when they arrive on the Brandeis campus in January.
