Turning conflict into coexistence

Correction appended. Noam Chomsky, Tzipi Livni, Heddy Epstein, Avi Dector and Michael Oren have all spoken at Brandeis on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and inspired protests and strong responses from the student body.

Life on the gridiron

There are bright lights, freshly cut grass painted with crisp white lines and a big stadium. Players decked in shoulder pads and helmets race across the field while screaming fans yell, "Touchdown!" It is a Saturday afternoon in September 1956 at Brandeis, and you and several friends are watching a Brandeis University football game.While the Brandeis football program was cancelled in 1960, in its nine-year history, the team played 86 games and had 41 wins, 41 losses and four tied games.


Youth empowerment through education

In Haiti this past summer, Shaina Gilbert '10 didn't see images of destruction and suffering.

"What are you doing tonight? Come to our room and visit." Hardly an evening passed last week in which the six students and recent graduates visiting from Al-Quds University didn't invite another group of Brandeis students to join them for an impromptu nighttime gathering in their suite.Al-Quds, the Palestinian university in Jerusalem, has participated in a partnership with Brandeis officially since 2003, even though Brandeis administrators and faculty have held meetings and exchanges with Al-Quds since 1997.
