Marie Harriett Staff Writer Minority recruiting for Berry is on the rise this year. Berry has an average of about five percent of students who are in a minority group historically. Out of the 488 freshman this year, six percent are minority students and 18 percent of the students who transfered in are minority students.
Berry participates in numerous programs and activities designed for recruiting minority students.
We visit schools in the metropolitan area of Atlanta that have high percentages of ethnic minority students. We also do individual visits. Gaddie said Berry also attends college day-night programs that are uniquely set up for minority students. Berry also participates in programs sponsored by the Southeastern Regional Office for National Scholarship Service for Negro Students and another sponsored by Upward Bound in Atlanta. Berry has been using some new programs for recruiting minority students.
