A great time to celebrate our shared experience as Berry alumni and our wonderful memories, Alumni Weekend is held mid-to-late May every year. Come for your Friday night reunion and stay to enjoy Saturday’s Awards and Golden Guard Dinner and Sunday’s worship services in the beautiful settings of Frost Chapel and the College Chapel.
Immediately following Alumni Weekend is our annual Work Week, when alumni return to campus to donate their time and energy to various projects around campus. 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!
