A blast of wintry weather didn’t prevent the Midyear Class of 2027 from kicking off their long awaited Brandeis experience Sunday.
The newest Brandeisians and their families received a warm welcome and a lending hand from Community Advisors, Orientation Leaders, and staff as they unloaded their belongings on a snow covered campus.
