Belonging at Bryant

At Bryant University, belonging is essential to the fabric of our community, inspiring exploration, discovery, and a deeper understanding of others. 

Our campus thrives on the unique life experiences each individual brings, creating an environment where curiosity, open-mindedness, and a sense of wonder flourish. Here, you’ll find countless opportunities to immerse yourself in new ideas, challenge assumptions, broaden your perspective — and maybe even surprise yourself along the way.

Inclusivity and global awareness are woven into our interdisciplinary curriculum, encouraging students to examine complex questions from multiple viewpoints. Beyond the classroom, student life is a vibrant mix of diverse experiences, from campus-wide initiatives to student-led events that blend advocacy, education, connection — and plenty of fun.

We believe every voice contributes to the journey of discovery. Together, we uncover truths that shape a more inclusive, understanding, and exciting world.

Campus Resources

Bryant offers a number of student-facing offices, programs, and resources to foster an inclusive environment and support the diverse needs of our community.

Machtley Interfaith Center and Campus Ministries

At Bryant, we’re committed to providing our students with opportunities to explore their faith and spirituality. The Ronald K. and Kati C. Machtley Interfaith Center offers a welcoming space for students of all beliefs and hosts events that promote understanding and respect for different religious traditions. Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, and Protestant chaplains also serve as sources of support and spiritual development for the entire community.
