As the ceremony came to a close the 150th year celebration pins were distributed to anyone who wanted one. There was also a very large cake made by a Sodexho baker from Pennsylvania. Each member of the administration took the opportunity to cut the cake and pose for a multitude of pictures together. The cake was designed to look like the front entrance to campus, complete with the globe. Bryant University has come so far in 150 years: The new campus in Smithfield, the opening of the Pride Center, President Machtley’s Vision 2020 plan, and many other aspects of our growing community. Each student, faculty, staff, trustee, and alumni have their own stories of how the campus has changed over the years. All of those things we would never have the privilege of knowing without reflecting on our history in order to make a better future. President Machtley’s plan for the future which includes having 20% international students by the year 2020 is one of the facets of our growth. The diversity that we are lucky enough to have on our campus, not just in race or ethnicity but also in gender, orientation, major, interests, etc., is a large part of what makes our campus different and a great place to receive an education.
