The Graduate Student Advisory Board advises on issues affecting the graduate and professional student experience. Comprising representatives across Bentley University’s graduate programs, the board meets approximately three times during the academic year with Heikki Topi, Associate Dean of Business, Academic Programs and Student Affairs, and Sean Ferguson, Vice President of Strategy & Innovation. 

Graduate Student Advisory Board members enrich the graduate student experience, build leadership skills, and strengthen services and programs. This board contributes to the graduate student community at Bentley University by providing varied perspectives that enhance the academic, professional, and social experiences of graduate students at the university. They also provide valuable input for initiatives, resources, and services.

• To provide a mechanism for soliciting graduate student input on the graduate student experience at Bentley University.
• To provide an opportunity for graduate student representatives of schools and colleges to feedback on potential change or future initiatives for the McCallum Graduate Student of Business.
