SMITHFIELD – For the fourth time in five years, the Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization at Bryant University has been named the best chapter in the country, the school announced.

“The string of national awards, along with nearly a decade of regional awards won by Bryant’s chapter of Students in Free Enterprise, contribute to the university’s growing reputation as a campus that nurtures entrepreneurs,” said Christopher Roethlein, associate professor and chair of Bryant’s department of management.

Entrepreneurship is the most popular declared major among incoming students at Bryant, Roethlein said. The Bryant CEO chapter is helping to plan the next regional CEO conference, which the university will host Feb. 3-4. •
