The Dana Center is literally squeaky clean, with gorgeous new gym flooring, scoreboards and videoboards, and reimagined bold branding throughout. This summer’s renovation also divided the former single fieldhouse into two separate gyms to better serve both varsity teams and recreational sports for the broader campus community. The completion of this project represents progress toward the Falcons Forward 2030 strategic plan, which emphasizes student wellbeing. Get pumped up by watching the new hype video, or better yet, grab your pickleball partner and go experience it in person. The Dana Center offers recreational opportunities for the entire Bentley community!

As part of the Dialogue Through Art initiative, Danielle Krcmar, director of visual arts, has created a striking 6-foot woven nest, now on display in Smith Hall. This immersive installation includes handwritten notes from first-year students expressing their hopes and fears about college.

The project was developed in collaboration with Neelangi Gunasekera, program manager for student success in the Office of Student Success. Together, they envisioned the nest as a space for reflection and connection—where faculty, staff and other students are encouraged to respond with messages of encouragement, placing them in the nest to foster a sense of community and support.

You can still stop by Smith and contribute to this impressive work of art by adding your own words of encouragement and advice.
