Every year Berea welcomes alumni to campus for their reunion and encourages class campaigns designed by their Reunion Giving Chairs as a way of connection and engagement. We hope that you will join your class efforts to help support current and future Berea for generations to come!

Reunion Volunteer Highlights

“Since I came as an International student from Venezuela, I was scared for the differences in culture and language. However, I found a family, friends, and created connections on day one. Not only do I have the opportunity to work as a staff member on campus, but as volunteer, I am able to share my love for Berea and its students with my classmates and colleagues. Besides the fuzzy feelings of helping people, knowing that you are making a difference is the best thing. We have a saying in my country that goes, “drop per drop makes an ocean of difference.’” – Daniela Pirela Manares ‘20

“I chose to volunteer because it’s the least I can do to attempt to repay Berea College, in some small way, for transforming my life. During my time on campus, I was transformed from a mediocre student who entered reading on an 8^th grade level to someone confident in my academic abilities. Berea College alumni have made an incredible difference in the world and knowing I’m a small part of its rich, impactful history is both meaningful and encouraging to me.” -Guy Adams ’81
