Any graduate student experiencing distress can reach out to the Office of Graduate Affairs. Although staff at this office are not confidential, they report up through the Division of Student Affairs and so can provide another layer of privacy from your particular department or program. Graduate Affairs staff can also help to find the appropriate person with whom you can work with resources across campus or within your own graduate school. If you would like to speak with someone within your own school:

• GSAS: GSAS can connect you with the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs. Please email gradschool@brandeis.edu
• Heller: Office of Academic and Student Services
• IBS: The Office of Academic Affairs and Student Experience (OAASE) can connect you with the Assistant Dean. Please email oaase@brandeis.edu.
