Fall 2026 Issue

Inside this issue

The Fall 2026 issue of Berry is ready for you, sizzling with the joy and promise of a presidential inauguration, the enthusiasm of two alums living out their “Marvel(ous)” adventure in the world’s entertainment capital, and the power of undergraduate research to mold bright futures. There’s also an expanded President’s Corner capturing the full text of President Sandeep Mazumder’s inaugural address, in which he charts a bold course for the future that is firmly rooted in Berry’s historic mission.

When viewing the PDF, be sure to check out the results of our latest magazine readership survey on page 2. We’re grateful for the robust and overwhelmingly positive response. Readers confirmed that the publication continues to strengthen their connection to the institution and offered helpful feedback that is already shaping decisions regarding size and content. While pleased to report news of Berry’s latest national award on page 13, we’re much more excited by the survey results, as they allow us to gauge the magazine’s quality and performance based on the attitudes and opinions of alumni and other readers.

One more interesting note: The vast majority of respondents continue to prefer Berry in print form, but we’re pleased to offer this online version for those wishing to access the publication on phone, computer or tablet.

As always, we invite alumni to share life and career updates for future publication by visiting alwaysberry.com/classnotes. Don’t forget to upload a print-quality photo (if you like). That same form can be used to update your address and/or other contact information.
