'Wishing You Love and Light'

Thanks from Phi Sigma Sigma

As the semester comes to a close, the members of the sorority Phi Sigma Sigma share words of thanks for all that you, the dedicated faculty and staff of Bentley, have done to support students during this challenging semester. "We miss seeing you in class and around campus," share sorority members. "Please enjoy the video we put together in your honor!"

2020 Falcon Society Inductees

Each year, the Falcon Society recognizes students selected by their peers who have made consistent and significant contributions to enhance the quality of student life on campus while continuing to achieve academic excellence. Founded in 1964 by Professor William Dandes '47, the society is the highest honor students can receive. Through their work as student organization leaders, resident assistants, service learning project managers, project directors and student athletes, this year’s inductees have left an indelible mark on our community.

Individually, they have lived Bentley’s Core Values by cultivating a commitment to social justice, furthering efforts of equity and inclusion, creating new initiatives in sustainability and articulating the need for visible art on campus. Despite the unprecedented challenges these students faced this past semester, they continued to give back to the community while maintaining academic excellence.
