IN

“Bryant helped me bring my confidence to the surface and realize that I can achieve even my biggest goals.”

Julia Di Natale ’22 International Business

means to you You can always spot someone from Bryant.

It’s the way they own a room, the way they walk, the way they shake your hand.

There’s a swagger, not just what they do but how, not just the words but a tone that says, “I know something.”

It’s what everyone at Bryant knows, from first years to seniors, from orientation on our Smithfield, Rhode Island, campus all the way to Wall Street, respected research and health institutions, and boardrooms around the globe: When you’re at Bryant, you’re in. In demand. In the room. In the know.

So the real question is: What does [IN] mean to you?

INTEGRATED CURRICULUM

BUILD YOUR IN Gaining Confidence Jess Maffe ’24, ’25MBA found the confidence to go all in on the Sales program thanks to Professor Stefanie Boyer, Ph.D. In her course “Personal Selling,” Professor Boyer broke down common stereotypes about sales, and Jess realized that the field was about helping people find solutions. That mentorship led Jess to national sales competitions and eventually to the presidency of Bryant’s Sales Team. After earning her graduate degree as a 3+1 MBA student, she accepted a job in sales with LogRocket, a software development company in Boston.

“This university pushes you but holds your hand while doing so. It’s a really good community to be a part of.” Jess Maffe ’24 ’25MBA

They light them for Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, and more, bringing their own traditions into one to celebrate together.

Tyler Griffin ’26 (Leadership and Innovation Management) arrived on campus as an introvert. In the Bryant chapter of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization (CEO), he found his voice. His newfound confidence led him to the presidency of Bryant CEO, which was named Best Global Chapter for the ninth time under Tyler’s watch.

Ayla Gunther ’25 (Entrepreneurship) wanted to find more ways to help animal shelters and other organizations, so she wrote a business plan and pitched it to the student senate. And the Bryant Volunteer Club was born. Today it has nearly 100 members!

Joey Belsanti ’25 (Business Economics) saw a problem: High school and college students weren’t learning to manage their finances. So he founded Twelve Points Academy, a nonprofit teaching financial literacy. Then he co-founded the Bryant chapter with six other students. Now, there are 60 members. The goal? Go nationwide.

GO TOGETHER

“If other students, faculty, or alumni know you’re committed to something, they’ll be committed as well. They’ll support you through the roof.”

Joey Belsanti ’25 Business Economics

ALUMNI MENTORSHIP

Bringing It Back To Campus As CEO of the Ghanaian JA Group and co-founder of the venture capital firm Cornerstone Partners, Jude Addo ’11 (Economics) built an international career in business, finance, and AI. It brought him back to Bryant. “When a place like Bryant makes such an impression on you,” Jude says, “you want to repay that.”

As one of Bryant’s Executives in Residence, he taught students team-building, offered advice on growing a business, and discussed the ethics of AI. At Bryant, connections between alumni and students is the norm. It’s the reason our students keep succeeding — and why our graduates keep coming back.

NCE IN, LWAYS IN Imagine yourself in the place you’re heading.

It could be a corner office with a view of Central Park. Or in Spain, Germany, or Japan, securing investors for your international startup. Maybe you’re in a lab, researching epidemiology and public health. Or founding the first woman-owned bespoke safari company in Zimbabwe.

Or advocating for inclusion in professional sports.

When you’re there, what will you do?

You’ll do what Ellen Wilson ’79 (Business) did: You’ll help others get in. After graduation, Ellen rose to the C-suite at Fidelity, UnitedHealth Group, and other international companies. Once there, she gave back to Bryant, joining the Board of Trustees, to which she was elected chair in 2024, and donating $5 million to found the Ellen Wilson Leadership Center.
