Brandeis Alumni, Family and Friends

Class of 1956

The Class of 1956 gathers for their recent reunion.

Celebrate Your 65th Reunion!

Save the date for the Brandeis Class of 1956 65th Reunion during our Alumni Weekend 2021, June 11-13, which will be held fully online. Alumni Weekend 2021 will bring you back to the place you once called home — from the comfort of your own home!

By making this decision early, your class reunion committee can continue planning meaningful ways to bring the class together virtually. No travel. No masks required. No reason not to participate! 

We’ll be in touch as programs are finalized, and you’ll hear from your class committee directly about virtual reunion events that will take place leading up to and throughout the weekend.

Questions? Contact Ashley Freccia, associate director of alumni relations, at afreccia@brandeis.edu or 781-736-4039.
