Connor Lofstrom ’25
Why did you choose Bryant?
I chose Bryant for swimming, but also because of the number of successful students it produces. Bryant has a vast number of connections and opportunities that allow alumni to succeed.
How did you choose your course of study?
I was originally a biology major looking at the pre-med track. However, when Bryant introduced Healthcare Informatics in fall 2022, it sparked my interest. Having background knowledge in biology and being good at math and eager to learn data science, I decided Healthcare Informatics would be a great fit.
What’s your career goal?
I hope to work in the medical industry helping to optimize hospital efficiency and increase the quality of patient care, indirectly making a positive impact on people’s lives.
Any memorable classes or professors?
My favorite class my first year was Global Foundations of Business with Professor Mark Vozella. He had great humor and made the class applicable to situations within the world today.
What advice would you give to future Bulldogs?
Working in the Academic Center for Excellence as a math tutor, I see students all the time who come in for help with exams and homework — and it always improves their grades.
A Connected Community
Bryant's purposeful student life delivers co-curricular immersion with an inspiring, collegial community. Students forge deep connections that last a lifetime.
“You get to practice what you’re learning, and you get to partner with companies and have a real impact on organizations while also developing your skills. You’re not just learning concepts. You are applying the concepts you learn to what you’re doing.”
"I'm studying social media in ways I never would have thought possible. ... I would highly recommend Bryant as a school for both business and the arts."
“I wanted a close-knit community that resembled my upbringing in Lebanon — a school that would support me in becoming a trailblazer in my profession. I chose Bryant because it felt like home from the day I stepped onto campus.”
