Bryant University is proud to announce the selection of the 2025-2026 Bryant Senior Advisory Council (BSAC). These distinguished student leaders were chosen from an exceptional pool of applicants for one of the university’s highest honors, recognizing academic excellence, leadership, and dedication to the Bryant community.

BSAC serves as an important advisory body to Bryant’s Cabinet leadership, providing a direct channel for student perspectives on campus life, academics, and strategic initiatives. Members meet regularly with the president and other senior administrators to learn more about major campus initiatives and share feedback from a student’s perspective. 

In announcing this year’s members of BSAC, President Ross Gittell, Ph.D., emphasized the council’s potential to shape key campus initiatives at Bryant.

“Over the years, the input from BSAC members has influenced our Vision 2030 strategic and campus master planning efforts,” said Gittell. “In many respects, students — and particularly our seniors — understand the Bryant experience best, and university leaders gain valuable insights from hearing their perspectives.”
