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 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 chose Bryant because of the opportunities it offered me regarding my dream career in sports broadcasting. I really liked the smaller class sizes because it gave me an opportunity to get to know my professors in a way that wouldn’t be possible at other schools."
“Bryant has helped me succeed a lot academically. I’ve also built close relationships with my professors, who gave me research opportunities and furthered my understanding about biology. I don’t think I would have had as many of those opportunities in another school. I’ve been very grateful for that support.”
“The professors are so excited about what they do and want to share it. They want to work with you and want you to be excited about what you're learning as well. Working with an economist gave me a new perspective on the process of economic research. It’s a real differentiator.”
