Gen One April Newsletter

πŸ§‹ Highlight: Professors & Boba

We were thrilled to host our "Professors and Boba" event along with the Student Support Services Program last month. Students and faculty members connected together while drinking some delicious boba. We hope students continue to foster strong connections within the Brandeis community, and keep in touch with professors they conversed with.

First-Generation Student

ο»ΏExperience Survey

Academic Services is collecting feedback on the experiences of scholars who are first-generation, from resource-restricted backgrounds, and/or have disabilities. The responses will be used to help us identify the needs for student support and submit applications for grant funding.


We expect it will take 15 minutes to complete this anonymous survey. We appreciate your reflections.


Scholars who fill out the survey by April 8th will be offered the opportunity to enter their name into a raffle for a $50 Bookstore gift card.
