As the semester comes to a close, we wanted to honor all of our seniors who were the first founders of the HYPE Team! A few seniors share about their memorable experiences: Jack Murphy (Event Marketing Specialist): What is your favorite memory from HYPE? I loved our team retreat during winter 2019. It was so cool being some of the only people on campus, and I feel like I was able to get to know my colleagues on a more personal level. Overall, I think it definitely helped us g

Nothing is more nerve-wracking and exciting than starting a new chapter of life. As a second semester Senior who is coming to terms with packing up after four incredible years to start a job in the “real world”, I know that all too well! No transition is more significant and challenging than when incoming college students leave their hometown and high school to head to their new university. Navigating the college admissions process is challenging in itself, all while coming t

It’s crazy to think that my time at Bentley is almost over. The fact that in just about a month I will be crossing the stage to get my diploma is just SO weird as it feels like just yesterday I was moving into Trees and getting ready to attend convocation under the Library tent on an absurdly hot August afternoon. Somehow, that wasn’t yesterday… it was four years ago and now I am preparing to attend another big Bentley event under a tent—but this time it will be signaling the

I am currently a senior pursuing a major in Finance as well as a liberal studies major in Global Perspectives. Outside of school, I am involved in the Greek life community on campus as a member of Alpha Sigma Pi fraternity and previous Executive board member of Greek Activities Council. In addition to this, I serve as an international education advisor and am a part of the Bentley consulting group on campus. It’s hard to recount one definitive moment from my experience at Ben

As an international student who had never stepped foot in Boston before, let alone Bentley, the first week of classes in my freshman year was quite overwhelming. I was living in a new country and starting an experience I had never thought I would have until my very last year of High School. In my freshmen year there were almost no Brazilian students like me (now we live in happy days, Bentley even has a Brazilian Students Society!). So, in the first Activities Fair (the most

Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday. Even amongst the whirlwind of end-of-semester presentations and assignments, I have caught myself in a ruthless cycle of nostalgia and thanksgiving. I’ve been thinking a lot about the importance of being appreciative, and looking back at my past two years at Bentley, there is nothing that I am more grateful for than the opportunities that I have had to get involved on campus. One of the student organizations that I am involved in

The Gloria Cordes Larson Center for Women and Business (the CWB) offers a Fellowship program to Bentley students, which unmasks the real-world perception of contemporary gender and family workplace issues. Thirty male and female students, each spring semester, are picked to be a part of this incredible experience. Through the Fellowship, students delve into issues, such as the millennial generation’s impact on the workplace, unconscious bias, managing confidence, men as allie

Orientation for incoming first year students is an exciting first step into becoming part of the Bentley community. This week long program gives students various opportunities to meet new people, become familiar with on campus resources, and learn about the different ways to get involved on campus. This summer, Robert Zedors, Gabrielle Casalino, Margarita Belaya, and Tyler Sloman, the student coordinators (pictured below), have dedicated all summer to plan Orientation. They a

My experience here at Bentley with the South Asian Student Association, more commonly known as SASA, has been colorful to say the least. The events are bold, members are bright, and opportunities for fun are limitless. I got involved with SASA rather accidentally (a story for another day), but I became thoroughly obsessed with the club’s atmosphere instantly and eagerly applied to be on e-board the first chance I got. The decision has been one of the best I have ever made. I

The Bentley Equestrian Team, consisting of just nine members, is a club sport on campus that frequently competes against other regional schools. Samantha Bowden ‘20, President of the Bentley Equestrian Team, shares her own experience with the club: From waking up early on the weekends to staying up late planning and holding fundraisers, my team has always been by my side. Without them, my college experience would not be as great as has been thus far. My teammates are there fo

96 Sisters & 1 Family I think it can be said that due to social media, films, and national news, Greek Life in general has typically been looked down upon. Coming into Bentley I didn’t expect to join a sorority, but I quickly got looped into it by my now best friends and sisters. For those of you who don’t know, Phi Sigma Sigma is one of the three sororities here on campus along with Gamma Phi Beta and Alpha Phi. All three are great organizations and I definitely recommend ge

The HYPE blog team decided to turn over the keyboard to members of student orgs, to give them a chance to share their experiences and express their views. Nick DI Palma, gave us insight into what it means to be a PRIDE member at Bentley University - People Respecting Individuality and Diversity through Education, also known as PRIDE, is a student organization on campus whose main goal is to provide an open and inclusive environment for all people.
