February brought innovation, exploration and plenty of snow to the Brandeis campus. Here are some of our favorite moments from the past month, captured by the Brandeis photographers.

After this week’s snowstorm, some Brandesians stayed warm indoors, while others ventured outside, turning campus into their own winter playground.

Back in the classroom, students and faculty dove into hands-on projects, learning new skills and experimenting across the disciplines.

Brandesians also got creative at the Great Cake-Off Valentine’s Edition event, sharing laughs and sweet treats with friends.
