The power of an arts and business degree
As an athlete in high school, Malakhai Pearson ’17 focused on sports and classwork, with little time for creative pursuits. That all changed during his first year at Bentley when his mother gave him a camera and Pearson found his true calling: telling stories with photos and videos. Pearson was one of Bentley’s first graduates in the Creative Industries major, which prepares students for a career that combines business with the arts and sciences. He credits the new major and friendships with other like-minded students for encouraging him to pursue his creativity.

Read how the event has grown since its founding in 1991, and how this year’s show — held at Bentley’s new multipurpose Arena — was the best ever.
