About Us

Orientation & Student Onboarding works to create a foundation of success, so that new students can connect and thrive at Bentley. Our office supports undergraduate onboarding, orientation, and transition programs to make the new student experience accessible, engaging and meaningful. Guided by our Core Values and Racial Justice Action Plan, we are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming experience through social, educational, and cultural events. Additionally, we believe families are partners in the success of their students, and we work collaboratively to welcome all families to the Bentley community.
