Professor Anthony Buono was awarded the 2020 Mee Family Prize, which recognizes a full-time faculty member for exceptional research contributions. Buono, who has been teaching at Bentley for more than 40 years, was praised for his “productive, prolific, and consistently impactful” scholarship related to organizational behavior and change, and for his pioneering work as founder and director of the university’s Alliance for Ethics and Social Responsibility.  

In 2019, all-female founding teams received just 2.8% of the $3.3 billion in capital investment awarded to start-ups. Professor Linda Edelman (right) and Professor Tatiana Manolova (left) met recently with two Bentley alumnae for a roundtable discussion about the challenges facing women-owned businesses. 

In research published in the Journal of Vocational Behavior, Assistant Professor Mateo Cruz examines how women in male-dominated STEM fields navigate both gender and occupational identities. He finds that while virtually all women surveyed contend with stereotype threat — that is, the risk of confirming negative beliefs about a social group’s performance or potential — they respond to this threat in different ways.
