Brandeis Alumni, Family and Friends

Great Britain

Several people smile in a group photo taken at a gathering of Brandeis alumni in London.
The Alumni Club of Great Britain held its 38th Annual Thanksgiving Tea in November 2025. Michael McGlin, assistant professor of classical and early Mediterranean studies, presented "Sport and Spectacle: From Olympia to London," and President Arthur Levine ’70 shared a university update.

More than 300 Brandeis alumni live across the British Isles, with the largest concentration in and around London. The Alumni Club of Great Britain’s signature event is the annual Thanksgiving Tea, typically held on the Sunday prior to Thanksgiving. The event features a talk by a Brandeis faculty member or senior administrator, as well as time for us to socialise, network and, of course, enjoy the quintessentially British tradition of afternoon tea. The Tea is now in its 38th year, and we're proud that it's the longest-running Alumni Association event on either side of the pond!

Whether you are new to the UK or have lived here for many years, we welcome you to join our regional leadership team to plan programmes that will bring Brandeisians together! Please also connect with us through our Facebook and LinkedIn groups.
