Meet Your Dean: Todd M. Alessandri, Ph.D.

Why study business at ˿Ƶ University?
Today’s employers want to hire individuals who understand business but can also view problems from a different perspective. Bryant provides students with a strong foundation in business, and students also complete a minor outside of the College of Business, allowing them to gain that interdisciplinary perspective employers want.
How does Bryant prepare students to be day-one ready?
Bryant students have numerous opportunities to engage in experiential learning while pursuing their degree. As a result, our students have the chance to gain valuable experience in their chosen field — giving them a jump-start to their career.
What are you most excited about for ˿Ƶ future?
The Business Entrepreneurship Leadership Center (BELC), the new home of the College of Business, has transformed campus and how our students learn. This facility provides the Bryant community with cutting-edge labs and centers that specialize in AI, finance, digital marketing, leadership, and more. I am so thrilled to be a part of this growth — and we’re just getting started.
