nternships can be critical to helping Bryant students determine their future career paths, and even their programs of study. By providing real-world experiences, internships give students an important first taste of the professional world, help them determine what’s right for them, and give them an opportunity to apply their classroom learning in the real world. Internships can also give students a competitive edge when it comes time to apply for their first jobs after graduation.

I’m thankful for the fact that we present so often here, and do so many group projects.”

Though she enjoyed her internship, it helped her realize that supply chain wasn’t the best fit for her, so she switched her major to Human Resource Management last fall. She will be returning this summer to Stanley Black & Decker for a new internship in the human resources department, and will be working on some corporate social responsibility projects, as well. As a veteran intern, she’ll also have a hand in running the internship program there.

Both Sannizzaro and Fryer agree that their internships let them sink their teeth into substantial projects that not only taught them new skills, but also benefited the companies they worked with, which they found rewarding. Each of them also had the opportunity to meet and work with other Bryant alumni at their respective organizations.

Most valuable of all, their internships helped each of them get a step closer to their eventual career paths.

Bryant Literary Review celebrates its 20th anniversary E

ach year, a dedicated team of students, faculty, and staff, brings the Bryant Literary Review, an international magazine of new and exciting poetry and fiction, to life.

The 20th anniversary volume of the Review, continuing the proud tradition, arrived in May.

Over the course of its 20 editions, the Bryant Literary Review has published pieces from teachers, dancers, pediatricians, psychologists, major fellowship and award winners, national luminaries such as Marge Piercy and Rhode Island’s first Poet Laureate, Michael Harper, and dozens of Bryant students.

The 20th anniversary volume of the Bryant Literary Review arrives this May. To order a copy, email blr@bryant.edu.

Contributions have come from as far away as Slovenia, New Zealand, and Japan. A number of Bryant students and alumni have had their first published work appear in the Bryant Literary Review.

“It creates visibility for Bryant, it shows the diversity of things that our students can do,” says Adjunct Professor Sarah Kruse, Ph.D., who is the

poetry editor for this year’s edition, an associate editor for Barrow Street Press, and an award-winning poet in her own right.

The small staff works closely together, quickly bonding over a shared love of art and literature. “The best part was working with Professor Chandler and the rest of the editing staff,” says Kevin Javier ’12, who edited the 12th volume of the Bryant Literary Review and is now a Talent Acquisition Specialist for EBI Consulting. Javier, who keeps in touch with his fellow former editors Kristen Larsen ’11 and Miles Ferguson ’12, notes, “that sort of camaraderie still plays a big role in my life.”

EDxBryantU 2019 provided an outlet for speakers with ideas about how to make our world a better place, supporting the event theme, Keys to the Future. Faculty, students, alumni,

and friends of Bryant University shared those ideas with an audience of more than 200 members of the Bryant community eager to embrace the visions set forth by each speaker.

For Lead Organizer Vanessa MacMillan ’19, that contagious spark of inspiration is what the event was all about. “I want people to think differently, to feel differently than they did when they came in, even if it’s just a small change,” says MacMillan.

“If they can say, ‘Oh, that’s something I can use in my own life’ or ‘That’s a different way of thinking,’ or, even ‘I think I want to learn more,’ we’ll have done our job.”

TEDxBryantU 2019’s 10 speakers examined a range of topics, from fixing the ecological damage caused by the global fashion industry to coping with loss. “People all around the world use TED talks as a way to

better themselves and learn about really great stories,” notes Craig Stevens ’98, Head of Accounting and Reporting at Swiss Re, who proposed redefining the meaning of wealth in his talk. “To be able to share an idea that could potentially help people was important to me.”

Jacob Lewtan ’18, MPAc ’19, who drew upon research he did about blockchain as a graduate student at Bryant, saw his talk as a chance to share his ideas with the wider community. “TEDx events like this one do a great job of bringing people together so they can connect with one another,” he says. “Getting to be part of that experience is very special.”

Videos of the talks will be shared globally on the official TEDx playlist at

suites, to townhouse-style apartments for upper-class students.

The Living-Learning Community will provide space for women in the incoming Class of 2023, selected from the largest group of applicants in Bryant history. Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Wendy Samter, Ph.D., and Kelly Boutin, assistant director of Bryant’s PwC Center for Diversity and Inclusion, and coordinator of the Hochberg Women’s Center and Pride Center, will oversee a variety of special interest programming for students living in the space.

According to Samter, “This specifically dedicated space is being designed to enhance the academic excellence and student success for women who choose a residential living option created with this goal in mind. The initiative will draw inspiration from successful programs at other leading universities and will incorporate best practices from both academic and student life models of women’s leadership programming.”

Goals for the living space and programs to be featured there include

creating a strong sense of belonging through living with other high-achieving students who share common goals and interests; developing and advancing leadership skills; and providing access to a supportive network of peers and mentors including faculty, Bryant alumnae, and staff.

The Bryant experience is widely noted for its immersive, 24/7 learning environment that prepares students with real-world innovation and leadership and skills. More than 95 percent of the University’s first-year students choose to live on campus.

ryant University’s capital campaign, Expanding the World

of Opportunity: The Campaign for Bryant’s Bold Future, has both exceeded its original goal of $75 million and surpassed an increased stretch goal of $100 million. We have several months still to go

in this campaign, which will conclude December 31, 2019, but have challenged the entire Bryant community to help us

maximize participation before the fiscal year ends on June 30.

Every gift makes a difference, and there’s still time.

$103 million $75 million original goal

Across every facet of the school, the campaign is already generating remarkable results that donors are proud to be a part of. I encourage you to participate now and help us secure Bryant’s legacy and bold future.

Build on the tremendous results that are already making an impact for future generations of Bryant students.

To name just a few: •$ 21.5 million in new scholarship resources help to put a Bryant education within reach of those students who will benefit from it the most; •U nrestricted gifts of $20 million are supporting excellence and innovation, with an emphasis on academic initiatives including new Academic Excellence funds for the College of Business and College of Arts and Sciences; •N early $18 million has been raised for the outstanding people and programs that make Bryant’s

academic programs among the very best in our class;

ryant’s new Data Visualization Lab provides a window to another world for Bryant students – and a much clearer view of their own.

Equipped with state-of-the-art virtual reality and visualization technology, the lab, made possible through a generous gift from HP, will help prepare the next generation of leaders to take their place at the forefront of a technology-driven future.

Offering fully immersive experiences through 360-degree video and synthetic digital environments, the lab presents a range of new and vital opportunities for nearly every course of study.

The lab’s diverse applications range from examining human anatomy and chemical structure in a

three-dimensional space, to evaluating complex, high-dimensional data sets, to exploring digital storytelling and diving into immersive experiences for public speaking and sales training.

The lab is also equipped with tools for students and faculty to create their own customized learning experiences.

“Our new Data Visualization Lab will enhance learning for all Bryant’s students — and we are only beginning to imagine the myriad ways that we can use this technology in our College of Business, our College of Arts & Sciences, and our Physician Assistant program,” says Provost and Chief Academic Officer Glenn Sulmasy, JD, LL.M.

“The future possibilities are as exciting as they are numerous.”

“The founders of HP – Bill Hewlett and David Packard – always talked about giving people the tools to be successful, and then stepping away to watch what happens. Now we’re giving Bryant students the tools to go see what they can do,” says Todd Gustafson ’86, President, HP Federal LLC, Vice President, HP US Public Sector, at the new lab’s grand opening.

“My hope is that this Data Visualization Laboratory becomes the next ‘HP garage’ where someone designs or builds something none of us can even imagine today.”

“This is such a great tool and a great resource for students, no matter what their major is,” says Marketing and Sociology major Hannah Bloomwald ’21, who helped demonstrate the lab’s capabilities at the recent unveiling and is excited for its potential to create immersive learning environments.

“It’s an opportunity to look at information in a way you never have before, it adds so much to our education,” agrees Data Science student Brittany Gouws ’22. “Plus,” she adds, “it’s really fun to use.”

herself as a risk-taker. And, that risk-taking has paid off. Since graduating from Bryant 10 years ago, she has lived on three continents, written a book, and become the only woman to ride all 21 stages of the famed Vuelta a España, a three-week Grand Tour cycling stage race.

Monika Sattler ’08 “You have to just go for it,” says Sattler, who is originally from Germany.

The Bryant community responds

If you have an opportunity that doesn’t sound perfect, but it would give you an amazing experience, just go for it.

MONIKA SAT TLER ’08 sound perfect, but it would give you an amazing experience, just go for it.”

She worked at The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund in Washington, D.C., and for IBM in Australia and Switzerland, but realized that those jobs weren’t the right fit.

She then founded RAD Monika, which hosts workshops and webinars designed to build self-confidence and create a sustainable path to reach one’s goals.

Sattler, who majored in Global Studies, talked about her journey with Global Studies and International Business students during a recent trip back to campus.

Her visit was made possible by the William T. O’Hara Distinguished Lectureship Endowment, which is named for the late President Emeritus Dr. William T. O’Hara ’90H and supports visiting International Business speakers.

During a recent trip back to campus, visiting speaker Monika Sattler ’08 encouraged a group of Global Studies and International Business students to “try everything.”

“Try everything,” Sattler urged the students.

“I believe you create your own opportunities. You create your own luck.”

Sattler also recently presented a webinar for a Bryant audience, “Self-Confident Women in a Male-Dominated Environment.”

Alumni can share a special kind of wisdom with Bryant students thanks to programs like the William T. O’Hara Distinguished Lectureship Endowment. To support the endowment or the Bryant program of your choice, contact a giving officer by calling 877.353.5667or by donating at bryant.edu/giving today

Bequest commitment will create scholarship for Bryant students pursuing Financial Services CFP® track

undergraduate enrolled in the University’s Financial Services CFP® track. The new program provides the education component that prepares students to take the certification exam immediately after graduation – giving them a significant advantage over peers from other universities.

“That’s a great opportunity and allows students to get right into the field,” Chouinard observes. He earned his CFP® designation in 2005, following related studies in financial planning and services at Boston University.

Including a bequest in his estate plan at this stage of life may seem premature, but Chouinard’s instincts for personal finance and wise planning make it a natural decision. “It’s amazing how many prospective clients I meet who have not done any planning, he notes. “At age 55, I’m not old, but I have had friends in their 60s who met untimely deaths and it gives you pause.”

He adds, “Because I had such a great experience at Bryant and have been involved in different ways over the years, I wanted to make sure that I remembered the school in my wishes. The financial planner in me wanted to have my own estate plan in place, of course, but it’s also about thinking ahead and I encourage people to experience at consider doing that.”

took a circuitous career path to arrive at his current vocation as a Certified Financial Planner – but knows he has found the position that is a perfect match for his education, skills, and passion. Combining an undergraduate degree in accounting, a fascination with financial technology tools, and a sincere desire to help people develop superior personal finance habits and strategies, Christopher A. Chouinard is an Chouinard ’86 independent financial planner specializing in asset management and retirement planning.

“I consider the CFP® as the gold standard in financial planning,” Chouinard explains. “It’s important to learn how to integrate all the parts of a client’s financial life – insurance, investments, retirement, estate planning, cash flow – and have them all working together in a comprehensive plan.”

That conviction has inspired Chouinard to make a $50,000 bequest commitment that will establish an annual scholarship to support a Bryant

Closing out Bryant’s annual Alumni Engagement Day, the Alumni Achievement Awards recognized the active and engaged members of the Bryant community who are not only personally and professionally accomplished, but also exemplify what it means to be ‘inspired to excel.’

This year’s honorees followed their passions and demonstrated character, and have enhanced the excellence and the reputation of the University through their engagement, their giving, and their ongoing ambassadorship.

A highlight of this year’s celebratory dinner, Mario Hernández ’97 MBA, who traveled from Costa Rica to receive his award, spoke movingly about the importance of leaving a mark, and of being grateful.

Not only was Hernández grateful for his Bryant education, he said, but when he brought his then-infant son to Boston 17 years ago for emergency heart surgery, people from Bryant were there for him, including
