Meet Your Dean: Todd M. Alessandri, Ph.D.

Why study business at Bryant University?
Today’s employers want to hire individuals who understand business but can also view problems from a different perspective. Bryant's undergraduate and graduate programming provide students with a strong foundation in business. Our undergraduate students also complete a minor outside of the College of Business, allowing them to gain that interdisciplinary perspective employers want.
How does Bryant prepare students for their future careers?
Bryant students have numerous opportunities to engage in experiential learning while pursuing their degree. As a result, our students have the chance to gain valuable experience in their chosen field — giving them a jump-start to their career.
What are you most excited about for Bryant’s future?
The opening of the Business Entrepreneurship Leadership Center (BELC) is so exciting. It’s going to be incredible to see how this facility provides the Bryant community with new opportunities that weren’t possible until now. I am so thrilled to be a part of this growth.
