“There’s an app for that” has recently become a commonly used phrase. For us ‘Deisans, it is now truer than
ever because Brandeis recently launched a new iPhone application called Brandeis Mobile. It iss available to the public through the App Store on iTunes, and, don’t worry, it’s free! Just search for Brandeis Mobile, click “download,” and there you have it… Brandeis at your fingertips.
The app has links to university news stories published on BrandeisNOW and to several blogs, including President Frederick Lawrence’s blog and the Global Brandeis and Science at Brandeis blogs. Additionally, the app includes an interactive map of the campus, so it is now easier than ever to find those buildings you’ve never been to before.
You can even browse Brandeis YouTube and Alumni Videos, and photographs of art, special events and student life all from the screen of your phone! The app also includes links to the Athletics site, reporting scores, top stories and sports headlines.
There is also the Library catalog and an emergency contacts page. The app is constantly changing and the university will continue to add features over time, always leaving you with something new to read.
For those of you who happen to own an Android device, Brandeis has also launched a mobile-friendly web page,
so you too will be able to access some of the same features as the iPhone app offers.
