A large number of you always make it possible for Bryant to be in two places at once by representing your school at college fairs while our counselors are on the road elsewhere. This past fall AAC members covered college fairs in California, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York.

For every Bryant 101 information session, we like to have an alumnus speak briefly about their Bryant experience and how it has influenced their career and life after Bryant. Last fall Michelle Kavalchuk ’07, Emily Murphy ‘11 and Emily Coutu ‘10 each spoke at one of these sessions. Again, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude for representing Bryant not only at formal events, but also in your everyday lives when you let people know of Bryant’s positive role in your life and career.
