Admissions building to be demolished next year
In early July 2008, Capital Projects will begin construction on a new Admissions building.

President Reinharz has been in conversation with Carl Shapiro and the Shapiro Foundation about renovating the current structure, specifically the Presentation room at the bottom of Admissions, explained Jean Eddy, Senior Vice President of the Office of Students and Enrollment. According to Eddy, these conversations between Reinharz and Shapiro led to a discussion on what the University really envisioned in an Admissions building.

‘Deis takes to the skies
Generally, people are used to hearing about ordinary (yet still exceptional) sports such as baseball and basketball, but sometimes it is interesting to take a different path, to learn about the uncommon. Among such unusual clubs offered at Brandeis, there is the Skydiving and Future Endeavors Club, a group committed, according to its constitution, to facilitating the skydiving experience for all Brandeis students and whose main goal is to provide knowledge and guidance for all prospective, novice, and advanced skydivers, as well as to provide multiple opportunities for students to skydive during both semesters, weather permitting.
