Gregory Adamian joined the Bentley faculty in 1955. He was named chair of the Law Department in 1968. His appointment as president ushered in a period of tremendous growth at the college. Academic offerings expanded from a single bachelor’s degree to undergraduate programs in eight business and four liberal arts disciplines, and master’s degrees in six fields. In 1989, the national organization charged with evaluating business programs placed Bentley in the select 20 percent of schools to receive accreditation. The years brought similarly dramatic gains to the college’s endowment and the physical plant. President Adamian’s many accolades include receiving the Humanity Award from Facing History and Ourselves; an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Boston University; and the Ellis Island Medal of Honor for lifetime contributions to education, business, law, and cultural and civic life in America. Upon retirement, he was named Bentley chancellor and president emeritus.
