Albanian Student Organization at Bentley University

The Albanian Student Organization at Bentley University, known on campus as ASO, is a recognized student club based at Bentley's campus at 175 Forest Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. It operates under the university's Student Programs & Engagement office rather than as a separately incorporated nonprofit, which means its events and finances run through Bentley's student-organization accounts.

ASO describes itself as a group founded with the vision of creating a supportive network for Albanian students and for any Bentley student interested in Albanian culture. Its public-facing materials frame the work simply as celebrating Albanian culture and building community on campus.

The group also functions as a connector across the Boston-area college scene. Its own social channels point to meetups and shared events that bring together Albanian and Albanian-curious students from Bentley, Boston University, Harvard, MIT, Tufts, and Suffolk, giving the club a reach into Greater Boston that goes beyond Waltham.

Day-to-day, ASO runs on a standard student-officer structure. Public LinkedIn information from a past officer notes that the Secretary role handles communication, organization, and budgeting for student events, with all spending processed through Bentley's SP&E system. Bentley's SP&E office has publicly recognized ASO for the community it is building at Bentley and beyond.
