Signature Events

Bryant is home to opportunities that affirm both tradition and change. Convocation, Homecoming, Family & Friends Weekend, Festival of Lights, Commencement – these and more are just some of the special events you'll remember long after you graduate.

One reason so many Bryant students choose to live on campus all four years is the easy access to a rich calendar of events that includes visiting speakers, guest lecturers, performing artists – and of course the excitement of supporting Bryant's Division I Bulldogs when the teams play on home field.
