We look forward to sharing the history of Berry with you and how our founder Martha Berry’s vision endures today. Along with a tour of the most beautiful campus (we aren’t biased at all), you’ll have a chance to hear from faculty, staff and current Berry students about our rigorous academic programs, internship and research opportunities, and paid professional development experiences through our student work program. More than anything, we hope your visit will deepen your understanding of Berry’s culture of mentorship.
Our students are challenged and supported as we guide them through their personal and professional growth during college and beyond. Join us, get to know us and leave us with a glimpse into the heart of the Berry community.

Can I bring another counselor from my school?
We would love for you to bring additional counselors! We have made arrangements for one hotel room per school so plan accordingly with your travels and stay.
What will I be doing at Experience Berry?
We look forward to hosting a dinner Thursday evening which will include Berry College faculty and staff members. The evening will conclude with a nightcap at a local favorite in downtown Rome. Join us Friday for a morning full of information that will empower you to share Berry’s vision for our students’ undergraduate experiences. We have planned for campus tours on both Thursday afternoon and Friday morning depending on the time that works best for your schedule and travel arrangements. Our official programming will finish with lunch on Friday. Should you wish to stick around, optional activities will be available throughout the afternoon!
What is the cost of attending?
Hotel and meals are covered from Thursday evening through Friday’s lunch. If you have made a request for additional travel reimbursement, we will be considering those on a case to case basis.
What if I cannot attend this year?
We look forward to hosting this event annually and would love for you to put it in your plans for the years to come. Please let us know if you would like to remain on the invitation list.
