Student Service Bureau
The Student Service Bureau (SSB), located in the Usdan Student Center Game Room, offers services that provide on-campus convenience for students and staff of the Brandeis community.
The SSB team manages the operations of the Game Room where all games are free to play with your Brandeis ID!
Last year, we welcomed the FRESH Food Pantry and Brandeis Tickets' satellite box office to our space. We also added a lending program for clubs and organizations to borrow BINGO and outdoor games for club events.
