The Brandeis National Committee (BNC) is a non-alumni philanthropic support group for Brandeis University, America’s only Jewish-sponsored nonsectarian university. Founded in 1948, Brandeis University is named for the late Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis. Located in Waltham, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, Brandeis is a distinguished liberal arts university and has been ranked the number one rising research university in the United States. The Tucson Chapter is a group of highly motivated men and women who connect with each other in this philanthropic endeavor.
