A Message from Liza Gentile  

Top universities like Bryant benefit from active and engaged alumni – those who regularly interact with their alma mater, feel a strong sense of loyalty and pride, and invest themselves in advancing their institution’s programs and core values. Our alumni are dedicated resources for current students and faculty, serving as mentors and career advisors, classroom speakers, and judges, and hiring Bryant students for internships and post-graduation employment.

˿Ƶ Office of Alumni and Parent Engagement supports its graduates through a communications network, in-person and virtual events and programs, leadership training and service, and professional development. Visit our website for more information on how you can get involved.
