Spread the word about your business, issue, club, or event with Brandeis University’s newest publication, The Brandeis Hoot. With a distribution of 3,000 to a community of 5,000 students, staff, and faculty, The Hoot is a great, cost-effective way to make your message known.
The Hoot was founded because students felt that Brandeis needed a community newspaper written about, by, and for the members of the Brandeis community. It is devoted to providing deep, insightful, meaningful coverage and commentary of interests of direct concern to Brandeis students, staff, faculty and alumni.
