BENTLEY UNIVERSITY THIS IS BENTLEY

Bentley University is one of the nation’s leading business schools, dedicated to preparing a new kind of business leader — one with the deep technical skills, the broad global perspective and the high ethical standards required to make a difference in an ever-changing world. To achieve our goal, we infuse our advanced business curriculum with the richness of a liberal arts education. The results are graduates who are making an impact in their chosen fields and turning their passions into success stories. Located on a classic New England campus just minutes from Boston, Bentley is a dynamic community of leaders, scholars and creative thinkers.

Today, the challenges of a rapidly changing world have made business skills and experiences hot commodities. More students are considering business as the foundation of their higher education experience, and considering Bentley in the process. With our distinctive blend of business, technology and the liberal arts, Bentley provides students with relevant, practical and transferable skills.

At Bentley, we blend the breadth and technological strength of a large university with the values and student focus of a small college. Students interested in business professions choose from a wide range of programs that address all functional areas including accountancy, finance, marketing, management and liberal arts — all with a strong foundation in technology.

Bentley students interact with a faculty of experienced teachers with real-world research and consulting experience, and enjoy a vibrant campus teeming with athletic, social and cultural opportunities. They can choose majors, minors and courses that fully explore the impact of information technology including e-marketing, cyber psychology, journalism for the web, web design, IT and public relations, IT auditing and information economics.

At the McCallum Graduate School, a broad array of offerings, including PhDs in Business and Accountancy, MBA, Master of Science and certificate programs, emphasize the impact of technology on business practice. Our faculty continues to develop the next wave of curricula,

emphasizing IT-enabled business processes and careers in knowledgebased professional services.

Academic Programs Bentley University offers a remarkable array of specialized business courses, from the Business Core curriculum to elective courses for majors and minors.This depth of offerings, combined with our emphasis on information technology and hands-on experience in state-of-theart learning labs, prepares students to succeed in a fast-paced, complex world.

The arts and sciences join business as an integral component of a Bentley education. In fact, half of the undergraduate courses are in arts and sciences disciplines – called the General Education Core. These courses expand a student’s frame of reference and build skills in critical thinking, decision-making, communication and other areas essential for well-rounded professionals.

Whether in business or the arts and sciences, academic programs at Bentley emphasize both theory and practice. Students gain a firm grasp of the historical, societal and other forces that shape a discipline such as management or international studies. Meanwhile, course projects, internships, and service-learning assignments enable students to test business principles and concepts in corporate and nonprofit settings.

Bentley professors link theory and practice not only in teaching but in their own research. The topics they investigate are rooted in the complex challenges that leading companies face every day.

While the curriculum offers a breadth and depth usually found only at larger universities, the experience at Bentley is student centered. We are a teaching-focused university that offers a personal experience, with small classes and an excellent faculty-student ratio of 1 to 12.

There are no lecture halls at Bentley. All of our courses are taught by professors – not graduate assistants – who put a premium on firstrate teaching, research and advising.

Business Core A significantly enhanced Business Core is now available to Bentley students. As of fall 2009, all first-year students study the ethical and legal environment of business, as well as accounting and finance.

Supported by a generous Ernst & Young Foundation grant, improved methods for learning accounting and finance are a hallmark of the new core.

Both cities provide vast resources for internships, job opportunities, cultural events and social life. Bentley is easily accessible from the Massachusetts Turnpike, Route 95 and the Waltham MBTA Station.

Bachelor’s Degree Programs

As part of a continuing effort to enable students to understand the linkages between business and the arts and sciences, the four-course Finance, Management, and Marketing minors have been improved by requiring students to choose one course from a list of Arts and Sciences electives related to the minor. In addition, all Bachelor of Arts majors now require students to complete the Business Studies Minor, which consists of five courses from the first two years of the revised General Business Core.

BENTLEY UNIVERSITY ACADEMICS AT BENTLEY

As a business university, Bentley’s mission is to create new knowledge within and across business and the arts and sciences and to educate creative, ethical, and socially responsible organizational leaders. It is distinctive among US and international universities in having two faculties, in business and in the arts and sciences, which are unified in their educational mission.

Bentley graduates excel in complex and dynamic environments through their capacity to initiate, lead, and affect value-creating change. As responsible and ethical individuals, they recognize and take into account the broader social, political, and environmental context within which all organizations operate.

Bentley is internationally known for the quality and impact of its educational programs and research. It is a leader in promoting ethical and socially responsible enterprise and the critical role of information and communication technology in achieving sustainable high performance.

Bentley has continued to evolve and expand its expertise in these “domains of excellence” in numerous ways: Arts and Sciences The arts and sciences, a dynamic, integral component of a Bentley education, provide students of business and related professions with the knowledge, perspectives and skills imbued in arts and sciences disciplines necessary for a lifetime of intellectual and civic engagement, as well as a successful and fulfilling career. Bentley offers students a unique opportunity to double major in business and the liberal arts.

The Liberal Studies Major, a first-of-its-kind program for a business school, gives students the opportunity to major in business and the liberal arts, and receive credentials in both. As of fall 2008, more than 500 undergraduates have enrolled in this optional program.

Ethical and Socially Responsible Enterprise Bentley has continuously integrated ethics and social responsibility into its curriculum through teaching, research, and corporate and community relations. These efforts are given even stronger emphasis through the Bentley Alliance for Ethics and Social Responsibility. The mission of the Alliance is to amplify and extend the work of autonomous centers and initiatives on campus, support and encourage greater awareness of, respect for and commitment to ethics, service and social responsibility in research, curricula and campus culture.

Information and Communication Technology At Bentley, the integration of business and communication/information technology takes place at four different levels:

Our IT-based learning laboratories in various areas of business and our general information technology infrastructure are world-class

Innovative pedagogical use of information technology is built into the fabric of all of our courses to support learning

We explore the implications of information technology on business in all areas of our business curriculum

We offer specialized programs that focus on developing highquality technology solutions.

The focal point for Bentley’s initiatives to integrate business education and information/communication technology is the Norman S. and Lida M. Smith Academic Technology Center. The 73,000-square-foot facility, which opened in September 2000, supports faculty and student expertise in using technologies that are reshaping business.

Two of Bentley’s most progressive learning labs are housed in this center. The Trading Room, one of the largest and most advanced in the country, and the Design and Usability Center are centerpiece technology facilities that provide students with hands-on experience in the financial markets and usability research, respectively.

The Elkin B. McCallum Graduate School of Business The McCallum Graduate School of Business at Bentley University offers full-time and part-time students the leadership capabilities and the managerial and analytical expertise necessary to succeed in today’s globally competitive business environment.

Featuring one of the most extensive selections of Master of Science (MS) programs in the nation, the McCallum Graduate School of Business is known for developing the specialized expertise needed to succeed in a variety of industries:

Accountancy Finance Financial Planning Human Factors in Information Design Information Technology Marketing Analytics Taxation

MS+MBA This intensive, integrated full-time program combines the business leadership curriculum of the Day MBA with the technological expertise developed in the Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT) or Master of Science in Human Factors in Information Design (MSHFID).

Dual Degree Programs The Dual Degree programs give students a powerful combination of broad business knowledge and deep technical expertise. Qualified MBA students may simultaneously enroll in any of the McCallum Graduate School of Business’s specialized MS degree programs, and qualified MS students may expand their studies to include the Evening MBA.

BENTLEY UNIVERSITY

THE ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATION Bob DeFelice

Athletics Director The only baseball coach Bentley University has ever known, Bob DeFelice became just the second athletics director in the university’s history when he was promoted in October 1991.

DeFelice’s affiliation with the college dates back to 1968 when he was hired as Bentley’s first varsity baseball coach. After coaching the team on a part-time basis from its inception in 1969 to 1987, he was named Assistant Athletics Director for Programs in August 1987. Two years later, he was promoted to Associate Athletics Director.

Bentley athletic teams and athletic facilities have all prospered under his direction. Since he became AD, Falcon athletic teams have captured 93 conference championships (regular season and playoff) and made NCAA appearances in nine team sports (football, women’s basketball, men’s basketball, field hockey, volleyball, golf, men’s tennis, women’s tennis and men’s cross country). In 2001, the field hockey team captured the first NCAA championship in the university’s history.

Under his leadership, Bentley has captured the Northeast-10 Presidents Cup eight times, emblematic of the best overall athletic program in the conference. The most recent came for the 2008-09 academic year.

Over the last decade, under DeFelice’s watch, the college has expanded its athletic facilities with the addition of a soccer field, outdoor track, six tennis courts and perhaps the finest college baseball facility in New England, which was named in honor of DeFelice. He also oversaw the recent major renovation of the Dana Center, including the construction of a new fitness center, food court and boosters suite.

DeFelice, the longest tenured active Division II baseball coach in the nation (2011 will be his 43rd season), has led his team to an average of 20.3 wins a season the last decade and has 640 wins during his career.

In 2001, the Falcons set an NCAA Division II record and led all of college baseball by hitting 2.39 home runs a game, knocking an incredible 98 balls out of the park in 41 games.

DeFelice, a 1963 graduate of Boston College with a Bachelor of Science degree in history, began his coaching career that same year as head football coach and assistant basketball coach at Christopher Columbus High School, a position he held for three years. In 1965, he began a three-year playing career in the Boston Red Sox minor league organization. In 1967, he was a player-coach with the Pittsfield Red Sox. Before joining the Bentley athletic department staff on a full-time basis in 1987, DeFelice spent 17 years (1970-86) as head football coach at his alma mater, Winthrop High School. During that time, he led the Vikings to a 101-65-2 record, with four Northeast Conference championships, a 33-game winning streak in the early 80’s and two Eastern Massachusetts Division II Super Bowl titles.

Amazingly, DeFelice has been inducted into eight Halls of Fame.

He was honored by Boston College in 1986, Bentley in October 1999, and was a charter member of the Winthrop High Hall of Fame in 1997.

In November 2002, he was one of four inductees into the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame. Most recently, in November 2010, he was a charter inductee into the Intercity League Hall of fame.

DeFelice has also been inducted into the Massachusetts High School Football Coaches, the Boston Park League and the Union Printers International Baseball League halls of fame.

DeFelice helped establish the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference and was a founder of the Eastern Football Conference.

He served as the EFC commissioner from 1997-2000, when it was absorbed by the Northeast-10 Conference.

Among the many honors he has received are the Murray Lewis Award from the Eastern Association of Intercollegiate Football Officials

10

and the Whitey Allard and Marty McDonough Memorial Sportsmanship Award from the College Baseball Umpires Association of New England.

In May 2004, he received the Jack Butterfield Award from the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association for his contributions to college baseball.

DeFelice and his wife, Patricia, have four children and seven grandchildren.

Medeiros has guided Bentley to the Northeast-10 Conference playoffs in each of her first three seasons.

Last season, Medeiros directed the Falcons to fourth place in the competitive NE-10 for the second straight season.

In her first year, Medeiros led Bentley to a fifth place tie in the NE10 with a 6-4 record and a berth in the NE-10 quarterfinals. The Falcons finished the season 7-10 overall, but suffered three one-goal defeats.

Medeiros, 29, spent three years as an assistant coach at Stonehill from 2004-06. She helped her alma mater win the NCAA Division II national championship in 2005 and three straight NE-10 championships.

“My first reaction upon meeting Carissa was that I’ve never been so impressed with a person and the recommendations that followed her justify that,” athletics director Bob DeFelice said upon her hiring.“We’re thrilled to be able to get someone with her background and ability to lead our women’s lacrosse program.”

In her playing days, Medeiros was an All-America goalkeeper at Stonehill. As a senior in 2003, she led Stonehill to its first national championship and was named MVP of the NE-10 Tournament along the way.

Junior Megan Wiggins had a stellar first season in her own right. After redshirting as a freshman, Wiggins was second on the team in goals with 32. An aggressive and talented finisher, Wiggins will make defenses pay for focusing too much of their attention on Geiger.

Two more first-year players, sophomores Taylor Bastien and Alex Carney, had big seasons as well. Fourth and fifth on the team in goals with 27 and 22 respectively, they make up a quartet with Geiger and Wiggins that should give opposing defenses headaches for the foreseeable future.

Midfield Two starters from last season return in this unit, junior Maureen Fields and sophomore Dovlyn Curtis.

Fields is a defensive-minded midfielder, she began her career as a defenseman, and excels in that role. She was among the team leaders in caused turnovers (15) and ground balls (31) a season ago, and her skills will be vital in helping Medeiros implement her new defensive approach.

Curtis is a crease-tocrease midfielder, able to attack in the offensive end (16 goals) and be a presence on defense (team-best 23 caused turnovers and 54 ground balls). She’ll be counted on to Dovlyn Curtis was voted the team’s transition the ball onto attack after causing turnovers in top midfielder last season.

the midfield and defensive end, and will take most of the draws as well.

Two relative veterans, juniors Lauren Canepa and Torre Taylor, will provide depth. Canepa is an all-around presence, able to make plays on either end of the field, while Taylor is more of an offensive force. She scored 19 goals as a freshman and had 10 in seven games as a sophomore before having her season cut short by an injury.

A freshman to keep an eye on is Chelsea Larivee, whose athleticism and hard work may earn her a starting spot.

Defense The rock of the defensive corps is junior Lisa Petitto, who started 16 games, caused 11 turnovers and scooped up 25 ground balls last year despite battling a nagging injury. Petitto is one of the team’s best one-on-one defenders due to her footwork and aggressive mentality.

Junior Stephanie LaRocca started 15 games a season ago, but her minutes will need to be monitored due to a recurring injur y.

However, expect to see her in the starting lineup for the season’s bigger games.

Sophomore Kelsie Tidman may have earned a starting role with a solid fall season, and her physical style should play well with the new defensive philosophy.

Junior Lisa Petitto has started 34 games Junior Beth Magurie over the last two seasons. and freshmen Bianca Sacco and Elizabeth Iorio will compete for the other starting defensive spots.

Schedule Bentley has one of the toughest schedules in the country to navigate this season, with conference games against Division II powerhouses Adelphi, Stonehill and likely Le Moyne (who migrated Junior Megan Wiggins was Bentley’s from Division I), and second leading goal scorer in 2010. tough non-conference games against Dowling, C.W. Post and Molloy.

Three of the first four games of the season are at home, including a season-opening encounter against Le Moyne. A game against Bloomsburg follows before the Falcons will take on Shepherd during their Spring Break trip to Florida.

After hosting Dowling on March 20, they have a four-game road trip that features a key NE-10 game against Stonehill and a nonconference tilt against C.W. Post.

Bentley hosts Molloy on April 8 in what will be a tune-up for the season’s home stretch. They play two straight games against teams they’ll be competing with for playoff spots; at New Haven April 10 and home against Merrimack April 12.

A home game against Assumption provides a breather before a road games at Southern New Hampshire, a fellow NE-10 playoff contender, and Adelphi, the two-time defending national champions.

They finish the season with a pair of home games against Saint Anselm and Southern Connecticut.

Northeast-10 Conference 2011 Preseason Coaches Poll

Goalkeeping Three different goalies will battle for playing time this season, junior Kate Poznick, sophomore Julia Powell and freshman Ally Dorman. It’s not clear who the starter will be heading into the season, but it seems that whoever has the hot hand at the time will see the most action.

Powell was the primary starter last season, getting the nod in 15 of 18 games and posting a record of 8-7. Poznick appeared in 11 games and started three, and her strong showing in the fall may push her into a bigger role.

Dorman is a highly touted newcomer, who started on the varsity team at Simsbury High in Connecticut for four years. She put up impressive numbers as a senior, 7.93 goals against average and a .553
