For a school of less than 4,000 undergraduate students, Brandeis holds an impressive array of diverse dance clubs. Even more impressive is students’ palpable devotion to strengthening the already commanding presence that dance has on the Brandeis campus and creating a space for this unique form of physical activity and art.

On Sept. 26, 2024 it was announced that Daniel Ricciardo would leave the RB Formula One Team immediately and would be replaced by Liam Lawson for the remainder of the season. Lawson previously stood in for Ricciardo when he suffered a broken hand after crashing during a practice in 2023. Lawson made his Formula 1 debut at Zandvoort, racing for RB for a total of five grand prix before Ricciardo returned.

Brandeis graduate students play an integral role as teaching assistants, researchers, and mentors, yet their experience is markedly different from that of undergraduates.

However, this sense of insecurity may be reduced with a new union contract.
