In 2027, we celebrate Berry's 125th anniversary, making Silver and Blue Alumni Weekend an extra meaningful homecoming. We'll start Friday with class reunions and a chance to connect with Berry president Dr. Sandeep Mazumder. Saturday brings a return to the "shrine of many a memory" and the Silver and Blue Dinner. We'll wrap up with Sunday chapel and a quiet moment of reflection. Come home and mark 125 years of Berry with us.

For nearly 40 years, Work Week has kept alive the hardworking, service-driven spirit Billy Smith (39H) brought to Berry, uniting alumni and friends to care for our campus and reconnect with the place that shaped them. This year is extra special, as we mark Berry's 125th anniversary, making it the ideal time to return and give back to the community that gave us so much. Whether you spend one day or the whole week, you'll enjoy comfortable stays in Centennial Hall, delicious meals in historic Ford Dining Hall, and the chance to reminisce with old friends and make new ones. Come celebrate 125 years of Berry by helping shape its next chapter.
