On Thursday, Sept. 2, 2021, Bentley University burst back to life, bringing students back for Move-In Day and reigniting life on campus. In the afternoon, new President E. LaBrent Chrite presided over his first convocation ceremony, which formally marks the beginning of the new academic year. The evening brought the community together for the first football game of the season. Enjoy this photo essay of Bentley’s back-to-campus activities.
