This morning I had the chance to attend a breakfast for counselors hosted by Brandeis University. We had the opportunity to hear from both the Dean of Admission, Mark Spencer, and the new University President, Dr. Frederick Lawrence (he even mentioned an Einstein quote I'm fond of!).
Most interesting was to hear that Brandeis was able, even during a time of transition and with the economic downturn not far in our past, to meet 100% of demonstrated financial need for this year's admitted class. Good news for students that will get a thick packet in the mail (ps. decisions go out tomorrow).
Brandeis is a great option for students that are interested in the mission of social justice, want to go to a small school with big opportunities, and that are looking for a challenge. Fun Fact: Eleanor Roosevelt spoke at Brandeis's first commencement in 1952 - all the more reason for ElRo Huskies to add it to their list! Thanks Brandeis for a great morning, I just hope some of those admit packets are headed our way . . .
