(12/06/22 11:00am)

On the afternoon of Nov. 17, the standard post-lunch hum of Usdan was replaced by chants and shouts as a handful of students and around two dozen dining workers gathered near Louis’ Deli  for yet another demonstration organized by the Brandeis Leftist Union, a student organization and dining workers. Soon, the group began walking toward the entrance of the Usdan Kitchen dining hall. Dining workers at The Hive joined in with the group as they passed by.

(12/06/22 4:35pm)

The  Nov. 19 Joseph’s Transportation crash , which resulted in dozens of injuries and the tragic loss of Brandeis student Vanessa Mark, has brought the safety of University transportation operations into question. On Nov. 30, the Interim Vice President for Student Affairs Andrea Dine notified Brandeis students via email that the Boston/Cambridge shuttle would be suspended for the rest of the semester “while we investigate alternatives for this route.” Joseph’s is still being used for the Waltham shuttle.

Amazon Web Services CEO Adam Selipsky on effective leadership and lifelong learning

(11/15/22 11:00am)

When Adam Selipsky first took over as chief executive of the Seattle-based Tableau Software, some employees were hesitant to embrace him. For starters, he was succeeding a charismatic cofounder who was deeply popular throughout the company. And then there was the culture question — Selipsky arrived in 2016 after spending 11 years at Amazon, which had a notoriously rigorous environment that some at Tableau feared would infiltrate their more upbeat way of life.

(11/08/22 11:00am)

On a typical morning, the alarm clock blares at 3:30 a.m., and Brandeis Facilities employees begin to get ready for the day long before the sun even peeks over the horizon. Bleary-eyed and exhausted, they pull their light blue “Brandeis Facilities” t-shirts over their heads and begin their commute to campus, preparing for another day of physically and mentally draining work.
