Dear TYP Alumni and Friends,

I look forward to welcoming you back to Brandeis on October 25 to help us celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Transitional Year Program.

In addition to reflecting on the life-changing impact of the TYP, the 40th Anniversary Celebration will be a great opportunity to renew old acquaintances, catch up with professors, and tour our transformed campus.

We have a full schedule of events planned for the day, including a stimulating panel discussion with current TYP Scholars. The gala dinner will feature the screening of a new TYP film; an awards presentation recognizing the contributions of important figures during the program’s first 40 years; and a keynote speech by Brandeis Trustee Linda Whitlock, the former president and CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston.

Your participation in all of the day’s activities is complimentary, thanks to the generous support of the Louis D. Brandeis Legacy Fund for Social Justice.

I hope you will return to campus in October and join us as we celebrate the achievements of TYP Scholars and their impact on the Brandeis community and the world beyond.

Sincerely,

Erika J. Smith
Director, Transitional Year Program
