Brandeis University is a community of scholars and students united by their commitment to the pursuit of knowledge and its transmission from generation to generation. As a research university, Brandeis is dedicated to the advancement of the humanities, arts, and social, natural and physical sciences. As a liberal arts college, Brandeis affirms the importance of a broad and critical education in enriching the lives of students and preparing them for full participation in a changing society, capable of promoting their own welfare, yet remaining deeply concerned about the welfare of others.
Our involvement: Martin Tomberg established The Tomberg Family Endowment Fund and The Helen and Philip Brecher New Student Forum. In addition, The Tomberg Family Philanthropies has financially supported this organization. Gail Tomberg and Charles Tomberg attended Brandeis.
