Welcoming Mr. Brian Bennett

Q: Where did you spend your childhood?

A: East Greenwich

Q: How did you pick your major?

A: George Washington University

International Affairs. I picked it both because it was my strongest academic interest: politics, diplomacy and the like, subjects GWU does very well.

Q: Have you had any other work experience?

A: After college, I worked for a business consulting firm, CEB, for five years in Washington DC and Chicago.

Since working in business, I have spent the last five years between formation for the priesthood, when I learned Philosophy and Theology at PC, and teaching Religion at The Prout School in Wakefield.

Q: What are your thoughts and impressions of La Salle?

A: Until this year, I only knew La Salle by reputation as a strong academic secondary school. My experience has confirmed that reputation, but I have also been pleasantly surprised by how much more La Salle has to offer its students beyond the classroom. It is an impressive institution and and even more impressive community.

Q: What are your plans for the future?

A: I am really looking forward to getting more involved in La Salle outside the classroom, especially with clubs and athletics.

Q: Do you have any other interests you consider to be important?

A: Travel. Ever since I was a kid, I have loved flying. I have no idea what my next big trip will be, but I am looking forward to it.
