Student Affairs makes changes GSA has big plans for to the Harvard Shuttle schedule this upcoming year Some students remain unhappy even after changes By Lacey Nemergut newS editor

The Bentley Shuttle Bus, a student’s key form of effortless transportation into Harvard square and other local locations, marks a fine balance between convenience and hassle. The shuttle combats traffic, rowdy students and typical mishaps. The beginning of the 20122013 school year saw noteworthy changes to the schedule. “At the end of last year, we had a lot of students [who] wanted some changes in the loop…it ended at midnight [so] they’d have to find another way to get up [to campus]…we also had breaks in the loop schedule last year…2-3 hour breaks,” said Director of Student Affairs, Paul Stanish. “So we said alright, fair enough. We had Bentley made changes to the shuttle schedule this academic year at the request of students.

By Ali Farooqi Vanguard Staff

Despite sharing a name and campus, the world of undergrad and grad are sometimes different and unique cultures. The Graduate Student Association, GSA, has been rebranded this year and is trying to unify our awareness and bring graduate and undergrad

student life a little bit closer for this 2012-2013 academic year. At Bentley “undergraduate and graduate life are very distinct,” said John Ahtam, president of the Graduate Student Association. “So let’s say you’re an alumni and I’m an alumni and let’s say we meet up at the See GSA, Page 5

Bentley takes a stand against campus bullies By Jared Bilodeau Vanguard Staff

Wherever there are schools, there are bullies. Many students are bullied throughout the world, which is why programs are necessary to help the victims and promote awareness. One such program is One Goal One Community: Moving Beyond Bullying & Empowering For Life. One Goal One Community was started in Australia and brought to Bentley in 2010. The program puts together rallies and presentations for various organizations in the community. Bentley students have presented to organizations such as Father Bill’s Homeless Shelter, Minute Man Arc, JFK Elementary School, Chesterbrook Low Income Housing, Milton

Schools, and quite a few more. At Bentley the program is run out of the ServiceLearning Center by Directors Alyssa Landolt, Brian Shea, and Jose Gutierrez. The Project Managers, 4th-credit students, and volunteers that are a part of the One Goal One Community team are now trying to have an even bigger impact on the community with the help of Bentley athletes, fraternities and sororities. “This semester we will be working with fraternities and sororities, encouraging people to stand up against hazing,” Alyssa Landolt said. “We will also be working with Bentley athletes and presenting to kids in Waltham who play sports. We want the college athletes to inspire See BULLYING, Page 6
