For being such a relatively small school, I think we can all proudly say that our students are incredibly involved.
From athletics to Greek Life, music and arts to academics, and cultural awareness to student governance, you name it, we have an organization for it.
In the past, student organizations have really only been able to get out there via the Bentley student organization webpage atcampus-life.bentley.edu/student-organizations. Each organization has their own description and e-board listing, as well as a link to their own external website, if they so wish to include one.
Beyond this, recent years have shown Facebook to be a common medium for organizations to promote their mission and advertise by creating Facebook groups and events, giving people the opportunity to RSVP online.
Since September, though, there has been a brand new website available for our use, called CollegiateLink. Initially only open and available to those on the e-boards of student organizations, it is now open to the entire student body and is a great tool and resource for finding out what’s going on around campus and the best ways to get involved.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the program, CollegiateLink is an external website used by Bentley, as well as many other colleges and universities, as a student organization database, and to a certain extent, it also has many Facebook-like features. Each organization has their own page where they can post their e-board’s members, and all other students who opt in can be listed as members of the organization.
E-boards can even go so far as to look at their e-mail distribution list and upload all those people as members of the organization.
Each organization can also create events and invite the members to them – kind of like Facebook events – and members can RSVP through this site, as well. The homepage has a virtual bulletin board with fliers of upcoming events hosted by student organizations around campus.
The goal is to have CollegiateLink take the place of the organization listing webpages on the Bentley website. SGA is currently working on promoting this site and encouraging its use to the student body.
We are working with ABA and Maria DiLorenzo to make the site better from the perspective of student organizations and to make navigation as simple and straightforward as possible for you, the student body.
