Prospective high school seniors from areas far and wide were welcomed to Berea College for a weekend of peer-to-peer networking, meeting faculty and staff, and touring Berea’s campus.
Students attended sessions about campus life and the typical day of a Mountaineer led by volunteer student speakers.
The annual Unity Banquet allowed current Berea students to share their stories of success. One of those students, Glenis Redmond who is an award-winning poet, shared many of her poems focused on the Black Lives Matter movement.
Carter G. Woodson Diversity Weekend allowed for prospective students to get a glimpse into the lives of Berea College minority students. Minority groups were not the focus though, as the weekend recognized diversity, but included it in the Berean way of life.
