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.

Young Alumni Christmas Party

Join us as we celebrate the season and support Berry students. Good music, food, and friends. Held in December.

Virtual Events

From unique lectures to online games like trivia and bingo, there's always a way to stay connected to Berry … all without leaving your home. Held throughout the year.

Viking Connections

Viking Connections events are held in various locations around Rome and Atlanta throughout the year. These events bring together alumni and local employers with upperclass students in distinct fields. Viking Connections also provides the opportunity for our alumni to network with each other following the student networking session. Held throughout the year.

Viking Sports Alliance

During this one-day event, female student athletes meet with sports alumnae to identify the strengths and skills that Berry develops in its athletes, and how those qualities translate into the world of work.
