New plans for better advertising for the University were laid out by Senior Vice President for Communications Lorna Miles, who addressed the Senate. She said the plan involves redesigning Brandeis publications such as the Brandeis University Magazine, and aims this year to redesign the Brandeis Web site in conjunction with a new content management system developed by Library and Technology Services, which will make the Web site easier to edit and available to all Brandeis community members to access.
The University will be hiring students to help transfer material from the old system to the new one. She added that starting this year, there will only be an online version of the Brandeis Reporter, due to costs and the difficulty of making its stories timely with only three issues a year.
Miles reported that Brandeis' "Spotlight Series on Middle East and the 2008 Campaign," a pilot program to raise Brandeis' profile in Boston, has been very successful, often with 50-60 attendees. She also reported that University President Jehuda Reinharz would be addressing other university presidents at the fall meeting of the American Association of Universities Oct. 20.
The Brandeis University Playback Theater Society was chartered after it was determined that its mission differed from that of the Teatro Revolución club in that it raises issues for discussion through performance but doesn't advocate a specific point of view. The Bollywood Club, which plans to screen films of that Indian genre and discuss them from a cinematic perspective, was also chartered.
The senate confirmed the chairs of the senate committees and their members.
Andrew Litwin '11, senator for Massell Quad, reported that he met with Jennifer Abdou from Student Activities to plan efforts to integrate midyear students in to January's first-year class.
