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.
“I’m really grateful for my Bryant education because it’s made me realize that I have a lot of options when it comes to career pathways. I’m interested in human resource management, and I also really like event planning and diversity, equity, and inclusion. Bryant has made me realize that I can do anything.”
“Bryant truly helped me develop my passion for accounting, supported my career development and interview skills, and ultimately helped get me a full-time job as a tax staff member at Citrin Cooperman.”
“The professors have been very helpful. If there’s anything that you don’t know in terms of advanced actuarial math, they will be there for you. If you come in with an open mind and motivation to get into the field — and you have a base level of knowledge — this will be a fantastic program for you.”
