From the President

Bentley University is a community on the move. Whether on campus or among our talented, engaged alumni, there is a sense of perpetual, purposeful movement toward the future. It’s something that first attracted me to the university.

In the years since, we’ve continued that march forward, leading the way in technology, innovation and entrepreneurship and creating Falcons Forward 2030, our strategic plan that puts our future goals out in the open for all to see.

This year marks a proud new chapter in our path as we embark on the dramatic reimagining of the Adamian Academic Center. This transformation will form the foundation of the university’s Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship initiative. This project represents much more than the renovation of a building. It will serve as the vibrant epicenter of upper campus and will include an immersive technology lab, hands-on learning spaces, a Build Lab for 3D printing and active prototyping, and flexible gathering spaces to encourage collaboration among faculty and students across areas of study.

On top of that, in the U.S., we’ve entered an era where, for the first time in history, we have six generations in our workforce, and we need to be prepared for the changes that will bring. As a leading business university in the Innovation Age, Bentley must equip our students with more than knowledge — we must empower them with the future-focused tools and outlook to shape tomorrow’s multigenerational business landscape. We’re not just adapting to change, we’re anticipating and helping to build it.

As this project moves ahead, we’ll be sure to keep you updated. I couldn’t be more excited about what this important addition to our campus will mean for our community and our university.
