ALUMNI SAY
“I had the opportunity to work with other students and go to a local senior center, work with the visitors to gather information about their day-to-day events and how they can be improved. Working through a problem-solving method in a community setting is rewarding and I loved being able to see our work come to life.”
“After entering the corporate world, I didn’t realize how much Bryant prepared me for this world. Things that my coworkers struggle with feel like second nature. No matter what class you took at Bryant University or what club you were in, we were learning without realizing it. Bryant taught me the power of my voice – I am much more valuable than I believe and Bryant showed me how to be the best version of myself, both in my work life and my personal life.”
“The IDEA program (as a first year and a mentor) not only prepared me for working on a team and design thinking, but also problem solving and flexibility. Both of those are extremely important in my line of work and I feel much more confident in those skills and many more thanks to IDEA.”
“I joined our University’s trip to Malaysia and Singapore to discover the varying work styles and culture that Southeast Asia has to offer. It was a one-of-a-kind opportunity that Bryant offers students and i believe that every student can learn from it.”
