We are thrilled to welcome alumni back to campus for Homecoming 2023, scheduled November 17-19. It's a special reunion for the classes of 1998, 2003, 2008, 2013, 2018 and 2023, but all alumni are invited to attend. Additional events will be added to the schedule as they are confirmed. For questions or help with registration, contact Alumni Philanthropy at alumniphilanthropy@berea.edu or 859-985-3104.
Homecoming T-shirts this year are in commemoration of Dr. Cheryl Nixon becoming Berea’s next president. They are designed in tandem with the President's listening tour. The theme is “Affirming the Heart of Berea”. If you register now, you can receive this limited-edition t-shirt for only $5! If you do not pre-register for Homecoming, the t-shirts will still be available at registration and check-in at Homecoming for $15.
Visitor's Center, Log House Craft Gallery and Farm Store offer discounts for alumni!
5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. | Tech Ethics Roundtable
Danforth Tech, Room 104
Much of the recent discourse around data is about the security of our data as individuals. However the risks from data breaches aren’t evenly spread across the population and traditionally disenfranchised populations are more at risk. As an alternative, some people opt out of these systems, while others provide their data. We’ll talk about a range of scenarios from banking to federal and state assistance programs to a South African Covid relief program. Speaker is Katie Panciera ’05 who serves as an Assistant Professor at Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Communications Department.

The 2nd Annual Better Together 5k run/walk (with a virtual option!) offers you a chance to continue a legacy of support for the Berea Food Bank that’s been going on for more than 30 years. Although the method for support may look different – a donation and a walk instead of a bag of food (formerly known as Hunger Hurts Food Drive) – the impact continues to be an essential part of how our community food bank meets the needs of our neighbors. Your full registration fee will go directly to the Food Bank and its affiliated programs.
