ProjectConnect is a peer-facilitated program that helps students meet and get to know students outside of their social group, and build stronger community on campus. Students meet in groups of 4-6 over the course of six 1-hour sessions and engage in a series of thought-provoking questions and fun activities, ending with a social gathering. Choose from in-person or virtual groups.

Body Positive Brandeis groups utilize the power of peer support to empower people of all identities to engage in thoughtful, meaningful dialogue about their bodies and well-being. These groups meet once per week for eight 90 minute-sessions. 94% of fall 2020 participants would recommend this program to a friend. Groups are open to graduate and undergraduate students.
