Mountain Day weekend is October 13-15, 2023! CLICK HERE to register for events.
Alumni Weekend
A great time to celebrate our shared experience as Berry alumni and our wonderful memories! Come for your Friday night reunion and stay to enjoy Saturday's Awards Gala Dinner and Sunday's worship services in the beautiful settings of Frost Chapel and the College Chapel.
Alumni Work Week
Immediately following Alumni Weekend is our annual Work Week, when alumni return to campus to donate their time and energy to various projects. Working side by side with your Berry friends is a very special experience. Alumni and friends of all skill levels are welcome. Come even if you can only stay for a day or two!
Alumni Reunions
Reunions are a great way to reconnect with your classmates and celebrate your shared memories. Twice a year at Berry, events are held to bring alumni back together. Mountain Day includes special programs for "milestone" reunions, including the 10th, 25th, 40th and 50th reunion classes, as well as a mega-event for all alumni to connect around the decade of their graduation. Alumni Weekend is the dedicated time when all Golden Guard classes meet - those with graduation anniversaries of 50 or more years. Held in May and October.
