Featured Event
SAVE THE DATE! 65th Anniversary Signature Event
Thursday, May 29, 2025 4:30 PM EST - 8:00 PM EST
Hassenfeld Conference Center, Brandeis University
We invite you to join the Heller School’s 65th Anniversary featuring University Professor Anita Hill and previous school leadership. In the face of a stream of Trump administration executive orders, political pundits project that a constitutional crisis is imminent and note that decisions our country's policymakers, courts, and institutions make will have global implications. Professor Hill will explain the important role that U.S. judges are playing now to avert the "crises" by upholding policies that secure long-enshrined rights and provide essential resources for individuals and communities throughout the country and beyond.
This anniversary also invites us to reflect on 65 years of accomplishments, impact, and excellence, with a keen eye towards continued innovation. With that in mind, we will take this chance to honor Maria Madison, Interim Dean, who is concluding her term on June 30. She has led the Heller School through tremendous challenges with humility, warmth, strength, and positivity.
In the ever-changing landscape of higher education, we as a Heller community are thriving together and embracing the future. Our mission remains the same as ever: to pursue groundbreaking research through our centers and institutes, effect positive social change in communities around the world, and attract the brightest students who will advance this commitment today as scholars and tomorrow as alumni.
The event will take place at Brandeis University at Sherman Function Hall, Hassenfeld Conference Center. Registration is $25 and the program is shared below.
