With roots in our founding values, The Berry Compact is an agreement between the college and its students. Berry provides eight semesters of paid, professional development experience, a personalized four-year plan for academic and life success, and a network of caring mentors. Students contribute their time and experience to making Berry and the world—better.
MaryBeth Rowland came to Berry to run cross-country and track but cemented her future as a medical researcher, thanks to work opportunities and mentoring by professors. As a research assistant in the biology department, she co-authored a paper published in an internationally peer-reviewed journal, which led to doctoral studies in biology.
