“The way Paul carries on Harry Bentley’s legacy is evident in the attention and effort he puts into helping the school,” says Joe Shaker ’90, P ’21, vice chair of the Bentley Executive Club (BEC). “It’s what Harry Bentley dreamed to have someday.”
Shaker is speaking of Paul Mastrocola ’90, P ’24, a longtime advocate for bringing fellow Falcons together — to boost their careers, communities and alma mater. His commitments include serving as a founding member of the GAB and BEC, guest lecturer on campus, and mentor to students and alumni. He’s a familiar face at alumni events, leading conversations with industry experts and hosting talks with legends like David Ortiz.
“He’s always open to helping different alumni,” says Grace Doherty, MBA ’01, a former member of the GAB.
Mastrocola’s impact extends to his profession. He is an attorney and co-managing partner for Boston-based Burns & Levinson. In his hometown of Hanover, Mass., he was a fixture on the hockey sidelines as a coach for 10 years, having coached his son Justin — who just finished up his first year at Bentley.
“It’s through Paul that I’ve become more involved with Bentley even after I graduated,” Shaker says of his former roommate. Adds Chuck Coppa ’90, chair of the GAB, “I could not think of a person more deserving of this award.”
