Brandeis Alumni, Family and Friends

Alumni Association Board of Directors

The Brandeis University Alumni Association, a vibrant community with more than 65,000 members strong, offers lifelong opportunities for alumni to stay connected to each other and to Brandeis. All Brandeis graduates are automatically members of the Alumni Association and entitled to a range of benefits and services.

The Association is led by the Board of Directors, a group of dedicated alumni volunteers who work closely with the Office of Alumni Relations. Serving as both advisors and partners, the Board plays a vital role in guiding the organization and actively supports its mission to foster and nurture lifelong relationships between Brandeis and its alumni.
