Making Music!

Even at Brandeis, Shuster works hard on beat editing and production.

Jam with Josh Shuster, part-time music producer.

It’s said that Bostonians spend 500 days of their lives commuting. That may sound nasty, but perhaps Joshua Shuster ’23 can beat that with a weekly commute between Waltham and New York. This first-year isn’t commuting back to the Big Apple out of homesickness, but because of his work there as a music producer. 

Brandeis Swings a Visit From Smith

Before kicking off her book tour, author Zadie Smith joined the Brandeis community on Sept. 12 to discuss her novel “Swing Time” with students and faculty. The event, part of the Helen and Philip Brecher New Student Forum, aims to provide an opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of the book and get inspired by exploring the book’s themes. Smith’s visit involved a dinner with select faculty and a gathering in the International Lounge before a question-and-answer session in Spingold Theater Center.

Into the (Sachar) Woods

At first glance, Brandeis may seem like a concrete jungle. However, just beyond the main confines of campus is a green space accessible to the community. It doesn’t matter if you’re not an Environmental Studies major or active member of the Mountain Club — the Sachar Woods provide an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors regardless of experience level. 

Fall!

In September, the IBS woods are just starting to show signs of fall.

From 'Deis Campus to D.C. Council

Angel Henriquez ’22 is a devoted fan of the Washington, D.C. football team, but won’t say the team’s name aloud because “it’s disrespectful, and the name should be changed.” Since the 2016 presidential election, Henriquez has stopped wearing team gear and decided the only way to challenge the inequity around him is to become the first Latino member of the D.C. city council —  but not the last. Henriquez plans to run after graduating Brandeis and to work his way into mayoral office eventually. In the meantime, the Brandeis sophomore spends his breaks working in local Washington politics, is working remotely with a non-profit, and has “made a name for [him]self” at home, he told the Justice in an interview. 

Coding Community

Women majoring in  computer science are a rare sight on university campuses across the U.S. While computer science research jobs are growing exponentially, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that women only earn 18 percent of all bachelor’s degrees in computer science awarded by American universities. In the workplace, this has translated to a decline in female computer science professionals since the 1990s, and there is little to indicate a shift in this trend. The Justice spoke to one Brandeis student who is on a mission to change that.

First Impressions

At Sunday’s club fair, the Justice spoke with first-year students about the highs and lows of Orientation and their hopes for the school year. 

Good OL Time

Orientation is centered around welcoming incoming students to Brandeis, but for many current students, being an Orientation Leader is just as thrilling as beginning college. The Justice reached out to some of these OLs to give our readers a view into what their job is like and how these students shape our community. Here are some of those responses:
