ON CAMPUS EVENTS
Mountain Day
Mountain Day weekend will be held October 4-6, 2024!
Mountain Day got its start in 1914 as a birthday celebration for Martha Berry. Today, it has grown into a three-day homecoming extravaganza that both showcases and strengthens our bonds as a community. Held in early October.
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
Held in late May.
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
Held in May and October
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.
