Berry Impact
Part of the Office of Diversity and Belonging and Community Engagement, Berry Impact advances Berry’s motto of “not to be served, but to serve” by mobilizing our Good Neighbor Culture beyond the Gate of Opportunity.
Year of Service
Year of Service is a living-learning community established to promote a direct link between Berry students and the local Rome community. These themed houses contribute to the welfare of others in Berry and the local Rome community and should be a true complement to Berry's culture and mission.
