Mission Statement
The Bentley Residential Center is dedicated to creating a safe, civil and inclusive community. Our staff strives to develop a comfortable living environment where the rules and needs of the community are vital to fostering the personal and intellectual growth for all of its 3,300 residential students.
Safety and civility are achieved by the judicious application of college rules and policies to promote personal accountability and responsibility. Personal growth and inclusiveness are supported through student-centered programming efforts, highlighting the importance of celebrating differences, building healthy relationships and creating leadership opportunities. Intellectual growth is also stimulated by creating residential environments that allow students to pursue the academic endeavors which are necessary for the successful completion of a Bentley education.
Throughout the calendar year we work in partnership with Facilities Management, Student Life, Campus Police and other essential departments to constantly develop, maintain and improve the residential structures and facilities, offering a higher standard of collegiate living.
By achieving the goals stated above, the Bentley Residential Center seeks to complement the academic mission of the university and prepare students to become valuable and contributing members of the global community.
