Alumni and friends celebrated the 2022 holidays at RiverRink, enjoying refreshments in a private lodge overlooking the skating rink and Center City skyline.

The Alumni Club of Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey serves the more than 2,300 Brandeisians in the Tri-State area, from Center City and the Philly suburbs to southern and central New Jersey and Delaware. The club holds events on both sides of the river, and two annual favorites are Faculty in the Field with a Brandeis professor and our holiday gathering at RiverRink. Other highlights from recent years include visits to Philly favorites such as the Franklin Institute, the National Constitution Center and the National Museum of American Jewish History; theater productions at the Kimmel Center; and Sixers games at the Wells Fargo Center.

Whether you are new to the region or have lived here for many years, we welcome you to join our regional leadership team to plan programs that will bring Brandeisians together. Please connect with us through our Facebook group.

Favorite Brandeis Professor: Laura Goldin

Favorite Place on Campus: Slosberg’s many rehearsal rooms

Favorite Brandeis Memory: Hours spent in Slosberg rehearsing vocals (and having a blast together) with the Rather be Giraffes a cappella group!

I volunteer because Brandeis was a formative time in my life, and reminds me how far I’ve come because of the people who influenced me here.
