Training & Workshops
To help our community understand how to be good neighbors, the Office of Belonging and Community Engagement offers a range of voluntary workshops for students, staff, faculty, and community members. Our current offerings include Good Neighbor Essentials, Inclusive Leadership, and Leading Restorative Conversations. We also proudly partner with The King Center to provide Nonviolence 365© and with Dr. Vonnetta West for The Bias Challenge©
Community Programs
Our community has a robust amount of opportunities to learn about and celebrate diversity. Between having world-renown authors and speakers visit to present in our Beloved Community Lecture Series, civic conversations, and several celebrations and experiences in partnership with other departments and divisions, there is no shortage of opportunity to get involved.
Be Love Week
Consistent with Martha Berry's motto, "not to be ministered unto, but to minister," Be Love Week is a weeklong campaign where the Berry College community mobilizes our good neighbor culture to serve in the Rome community. The week begins on MLK Day with a community gathering that honors the life and mission of Dr. King, and is followed by a week of service and partnership from various groups on campus.
Berry Circles
Berry Circles is a campus-wide good neighbor conversation series that aims to help the Berry community practice thoughtful and courageous conversation, share experiences and ideas, and build meaningful relationships. To see a full list of upcoming events, visit cal.berry.edu.
Solidarity Week
Solidarity Week is a student-led initiative that aims to acknowledge, educate, and celebrate the diversity in the Berry College community and foster a greater sense of solidarity across the campus.
