Alumni Event Recordings

We post recordings of Bradley alumni online events as soon as they’re available. You’ll find them here when they’re ready.

The Braves Together Online (BTO) series features an alum or someone from the Bradley family sharing their expertise. Bradley has something important to offer the world, so everyone is welcome to attend a BTO session; you don’t need a Bradley affiliation to register.

There are a lot of bumps in the road when moving from being a student to being an alum. Life After BU is designed to help. Alumni offer advice to students and recent graduates about making that life change and setting yourself up for success.

Make sure to check out our events calendar so you know everything that’s in the works. Keep an eye on our social media, where we’ll promote events, too: FacebookInstagram, and Twitter

If there’s a topic you think would make a good session, email us.
