Meet three who’ve found opportunities in the emerging industry of cannabis.

I have seen almost three decades of Bentley history since joining the staff in 1995. The spring 1997 magazine, my first as editor, bid a fond goodbye to the school’s fifth president, Joseph M. Cronin. Now it’s my turn to retire. This final issue has been special in countless ways: learning about Bentley women over time; highlighting Falcons — of both genders — who carry on their legacy of learning; presenting every story in a design newly refreshed by our talented creative team. The vibe is clean, modern and highly readable, with compelling photos, illustration and other elements to catch your eye.

It’s been a pleasure and a privilege to bring Bentley to you on the page and, starting in 2009, online. The range of topics we’ve explored together is breathtaking. But their throughline is a school ever ready to meet the moment. As a brand new editor once wrote in this space: “There is plenty at Bentley to be proud of.”

Thank you for sharing this remarkable place with me, a non-alumna who has come to feel every bit a Falcon. Take care on your own road ahead and always keep reading.
