Telling Berry’s story authentically and creatively has been a priority since the earliest efforts of our founder to spread the word about her schools. In order to keep this message fresh and relevant, college leaders recently sought input from alumni, current and prospective students, and others as we reflected carefully on what is most true about the Berry experience and how we can share these truths effectively.
Key elements of the Berry experience include:
- Our culture of mentorship
- Intellectual challenges combined with practical learning
- Hands-on work and leadership experiences
- A four-year plan for personal and professional maturity
- A community that cares for one another and encourages faith
- A place of inspiring opportunity and beauty
Berry’s distinctiveness is readily absorbed with time on campus but difficult to capture in words or images. In an effort to convey the richness of the Berry experience more artfully, we have developed an “anthem,” which serves as the basis for the stirring video below. Think of its words as overarching “spirit” language encapsulating Berry’s values and viewpoint. Although it is not a song, we hope you find yourself tempted to “sing along” as you watch.
