Missed Waltham Group Recruitment Night? Here's How You Can Get Involved! |
|
Did you miss Waltham Group Recruitment Night? Don't fret! The Waltham Group is a student-led community service organization and is the primary student service outreach at Brandeis University. The Waltham Group was founded in 1966 in response to student activism and in recognition of the university's responsibility to be engaged in the community. Hundreds of students volunteer each year through the Waltham Group, which serves as a center for service and advocacy.
To learn how to get involved with the Waltham Group, you can email the Waltham Group Volunteer Engagement Coordinator at wg-engagement@brandeis.edu. You can also reach out to any of our 19 subprograms by visiting the Waltham Group website and contacting the student coordinators for that program. We hope to see you volunteering with us this year!

Create a class with Splash! |
|
Every year, Education for Students by Students hosts Splash @ Brandeis University. Splash is a day where hundreds of middle and high school students join Brandeis University to take classes taught by us, the students, alumni, faculty, and staff of Brandeis. From techniques in cosmetics to the Greek-Persian War, classes can be as unique as your passions. Students take this as an opportunity to spread excitement about their passion or skill to the Waltham community.
We encourage students to teach a class of their own about anything that may excite them—academic or unconventional. Classes range from yoga, astrophysics, and poetry to "How to Solve a Rubix Cube", entrepreneurship workshops, and so much more. No prior teaching experience is necessary. The registration for Splash teachers is now open! Splash will take place virtually on Saturday, November 14th.
These are quick 1-hr classes and it's a great opportunity to gain community service hours, teaching experience, and to share your passion! In addition, it’s only a one-day commitment!
