The Graduate Student Council began moving departmental events away from Horace Mann House at the beginning of the academic year. On Jan. 13, Brown’s Graduate School’s headquarters moved into 225 Dyer St., placing the school in closer proximity to the School of Professional Studies, Brown research laboratories and other offices. The relocation from Horace Mann House, the headquarters' previous location, allows for greater collaboration and increased opportunities for graduate students, according to Executive Dean of Administration and Finance Ethan Bernstein. “The Graduate School will continue to provide the essential services of supporting PhD and MFA students across the University,” he wrote in an email to The Herald. Horace Mann House also formerly housed some offices for the Division of Campus Life and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, he said.
