Like many students, Stanley Dzengelewski, of New Bedford, has had many unique experiences prior to enrolling at the college.

While studying at Bristol, Stanley maintained a 4.0 GPA, served as a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and was the recipient of the Stanley Koppelman Scholarship, in addition to balancing family responsibilities and formerly working full-time as a butcher. He credits the college’s faculty and advisors for their encouragement and engagement throughout his journey at Bristol.
