Our Mission and Goal:
Brandeis Education for Students by Students (ESS) was created by Brandeis Students in 2013 as a way to foster a love for learning in the Brandeis community and surrounding community. We launched our pilot event, DeisTalks, on March 14th, 2013 and hosted our first Splash on April 27th, 2013. Since then, Splash has been held in the fall semester while DeisTalks has been held in the spring semester.
The mission of ESS is to provide the platform for students by students to develop and share their unique ideas through presentation and conversation. We believe the Brandeis University student body contains tremendous passion and knowledge. We challenge the Brandeis community to develop their ideas and questions to stimulate intellectual discussion in a creative, interactive, and fun environment; by making their ideas accessible to members of this community and beyond. By undertaking this challenge we hope to create leaders, thinkers, and innovators that will change the world.
About SPLASH:
Splash! began through MIT’s Educational Studies Program (ESP) in 1957 so that they could make a difference in the Boston, Cambridge, and MIT communities by sharing their knowledge and creativity with local local high school students. Since then, MIT’s program has grown to support over three thousand students each year.
Brandeis ESS is inspired by MIT’s ESP with the target audience of Waltham and the surrounding neighborhoods. Through an extensive offering of academic and unconventional classes, ESS desires to provide unique educational experience to all students for free. ESS courses are developed and taught by all members of the Brandeis community: students, alumni, faculty, and staff.
About 'DEISTALKS:
DeisTalks is an event where Brandeis students, faculty, staffs, and other speakers can share and express an idea or a project that they have been passionate about. Speakers are selectively chosen by the ESS team in a pool of applications submitted by potential passionate candidates. The event comprises of mini-TedTalk styled presentations held by selected speakers and will cover a wide range of topics. These ideas will expectantly stimulate thorough intellectual discussions in a creative, interactive, and fun environment.
