President, Berry College
Dr. Steve Briggs
Berry College’s president since 2006, is a champion for educational pathways and experiences that advance the personal and professional development of students. Briggs describes his work as “embracing the enterprising spirit of Martha Berry and demonstrating the continuing relevance of an education of the head, heart and hands.” He has emphasized the value of a vibrant residential campus for providing guided learning experiences so that students make the most of their college journey.
He has been a champion for cohort programs – cohesive groups of students with a shared commitment and sense of purpose. Various scholarship programs enable hundreds of Berry students to work their way through college or serve in community organizations, graduating with professional experience rather than debt. Berry’s LifeWorks program provides students with eight semesters of progressively responsible, paid work experiences on campus. A leadership program connects circles of students with respected mentors from the local community to consider how to live with integrity. During his tenure, Berry has expanded its academic offerings and residential capacity. Sciences and health sciences are the largest area of study, with strong programs in the humanities and arts as well as business, education, and entrepreneurship/creative technologies. The college has also opened or renovated a dozen buildings. The college joined NCAA Division III, added nine new varsity sports, upgraded its athletic facilities, and became a founding member of the Southern Athletic Association
