DEAR FRIENDS,
In our last email of the semester, we would like to call particular attention to the recent events in Mumbai, and the response here at Brandeis over the past week. For those in the Waltham area, we hope you can join us on Tuesday afternoon at 5 pm in the Shapiro Campus Center Atrium for "Mumbai: a Brandeis faculty and student forum," an event that will look at the causes and consequences of recent events. You can also read a letter from associate vice president for global affairs Dan Terris or view more coverage of campus responses.
