Let the Bryant journey begin

Bryant will kick off the 2009-2010 academic year with Summer Send-Offs to welcome Bryant’s newest students.

Bryant is going on the road to help kick off the 2009-2010 academic year.

The Office of Admission and The Office of Alumni Relations at Bryant have planned seven Summer Send-Offs in August to bring together members of the incoming class of 2013 and their families, as well as alumni, current students, and staff. The events, which will include an informal dinner and a meet and greet, will take place in Melville, NY; Lutherville, MD; Parsippany, NJ; ; Windsor, CT; Waltham, MA; Milford, MA; and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

“The Summer Send-Offs are an excellent opportunity for incoming students to learn a little more about Bryant from the people who know it most – our current students, alumni, and staff,” says Michelle Beauregard, director of admission. “The send-offs also help the families of the incoming students connect with each other as they continue to build a strong relationship with Bryant.”

Excitement is high for the new academic year as Bryant introduces new academic programs in entrepreneurship, supply chain management, human resource management, and professional and creative writing; welcomes five new tenure-track faculty, and continues the transition to Division I athletics.

“Bryant alumni take pride in staying active with their alma mater,” says Robin Torbron Warde, director of alumni relations. “The Summer Send-Offs are another way for our alumni to give back to the Bryant community.”
