Key Programs

Bryant IDEA

Bryant IDEA is our signature experiential learning course. Every January, first-year students return early to campus for a 72-hour immersive experience to learn about the innovation process and how to cultivate new ideas through design thinking and teamwork.

Research and Engagement Day

Bryant’s annual Research and Engagement Day (REDay) celebrates creative thinking and discovery through student and faculty research. Every April, this event features hundreds of presentations, workshops, and poster sessions — as well as Prompt-A-Thon, an internal challenge that teaches students how to harness artificial intelligence.

Northeast Intercollegiate Sales Competition

The Northeast Intercollegiate Sales Competition (NISC), led by the Bryant Sales Institute, is a two-day event packed with challenges, skill development sessions, networking opportunities, and raffle prizes that give students a better understanding of the sales profession.
