Our first event of the academic year was First-Gen 101 which was a trivia game and information session. A Trivia Game covering several areas at the University was played with prizes given out to the top three winners. A question-and-answer session followed with representatives from key departments at Bentley. An informative and good time was had by all.
First-Generation Student Day Celebration
To celebrate National First-Generation Student Day on November 8, a lively panel discussion was held of three Bentley alumni who were first-generation college students. After answering questions about their experiences and how the outside world affected their lives at Bentley, questions were taken from the audience. The insights from this panel will provide valuable direction to our first-generation students.
