Networks and Communities
As a member of the Bentley University community, you have access to a vast network of alumni, parents, faculty, students and friends. Making new connections is one of the best ways to stay engaged with your alma mater. Whether you are moving to a new city and want to get the lay of the land, are interested in learning more about certain topics or want to make professional connections, there is a Bentley network or community for you.
Networks and Communities We Currently Support
Bentley Alumni and Family Book Club
Our virtual book club offers new connections, new book choices and a new way to engage with Bentley. Join like-minded members of the Bentley community who are passionate about reading and learning. Read along with our popular book selections, engage with the discussion forum online and dive deeper with regular virtual gatherings.
Corporate Communities
Do 15 or more alumni across degree programs and graduation years work at your company? Create a Bentley Corporate Community in your workplace to get together and keep your colleagues up-to-date on the latest Bentley happenings.
