    We are proud to have an exceptional Advancement team at Berry College. Yesterday, during the Faculty and Staff Appreciation Program, two of our team members were honored for their combined 50 years of dedicated service to the college. Debbie Rasure, assistant director of major gift communications, has faithfully guided reporting efforts for our valued foundation and corporate partners and assisted with philanthropic communications. She is retiring next month after 25 years of service. Cecily Crow, director of alumni relations, was also recognized for her 25 years of service. We’re grateful for the wisdom and depth of dedication both Debbie and Cecily have shown to Berry. Congratulations, and thank you!

    The results are in. The 2025 PITCH Competition once again showcased the creativity, determination, and entrepreneurial spirit of Berry students.

    Hosted by the Center for Student Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Development (C-SEED), this Shark Tank-style event gives students a platform to share their business ideas and compete for funding to launch or grow their ventures.

    The PITCH competition reflects Berry College's mission to inspire entrepreneurial thinking and real-world problem-solving. Thanks to the generosity of donors, students not only gain valuable experience but also receive the resources they need to turn their ideas into viable ventures.
