Return to Brandeis.
Embark on an odyssey of learning with expert faculty and alumni.
Engage in spirited discussions.
Discover once again the excitement and challenge of a Brandeis classroom.

This daylong academic adventure for Brandeis graduates, their families, and friends of the University featured Brandeis faculty members and prominent alumni. The only prerequisites for participation were curiosity, imagination, and a desire to learn. Many left their workplace attire behind, and experienced once again the excitement and challenge of a Brandeis classroom.
