Connor Lofstrom ’25
Why did you choose Bryant?
I chose Bryant for swimming, but also because of the number of successful students it produces. Bryant has a vast number of connections and opportunities that allow alumni to succeed.
How did you choose your course of study?
I was originally a biology major looking at the pre-med track. However, when Bryant introduced healthcare analytics in fall 2022, it sparked my interest. Having background knowledge in biology and being good at math and eager to learn data science, I decided healthcare analytics would be a great fit.
What’s your career goal?
I hope to work in the medical industry helping to optimize hospital efficiency and increase the quality of patient care, indirectly making a positive impact on people’s lives.
Any memorable classes or professors?
My favorite class my first year was Global Foundations of Business with Professor Mark Vozella. He had great humor and made the class applicable to situations within the world today.
What advice would you give to future Bulldogs?
Working in the Academic Center for Excellence as a math tutor, I see students all the time who come in for help with exams and homework — and it always improves their grades.
A Connected Community
Bryant's purposeful student life delivers co-curricular immersion with an inspiring, collegial community. Students forge deep connections that last a lifetime.
“I've taken courses ranging from biochemistry to anatomy and physiology to physics, which is a great preparation for medical school. I've had so much support helping me along the way. Everyone at Bryant wants to help students achieve their goals.”
“Through all of my experiences at Bryant — working in the lab, being part of the Honors Program, my leadership positions — I became much more confident, and that really changed me for the better."
“I knew I wanted to do something with business, and I always liked being in a leader-type of role. Then my minor is biotechnology. … I could manage a hospital from a business perspective.”
