Berea by the Numberschevron_right
The primary reason I support Berea College is its ‘Students First’ core belief, and the initiatives President Nixon describes illustrate that belief put into action. I can think of no other college or university, anywhere, that ‘walks its talk’ better than Berea. When I contribute to the Berea Annual Fund, I am assured that those funds will go directly to some form of student support. Best ‘return on investment’ I have ever experienced!

The Heart of Technology

Constructed in 1958, Danforth Technology Building no longer meets the needs of a fast-paced, modern technology curriculum.
