Visit for Student Advocates

    Student Advocates are adults who serve student populations.

    Thank you for your interest in visiting Berea College as a Student Advocate!

    Student Advocates are not students, but are adults who are advocates for Domestic US students. Typically we see High School Counselors, College Coaches, CBOs that serve youth, and similar professionals for these visits.

    As a student advocate, you have a great relationship with your students. These visits are targeted specifically with YOU in mind. The hope is that if you know more about us, you can go home after your visit and tell your students about a College like none other - Berea College.

    Please complete the form below and someone from our Campus Visits Team will contact you to complete your visit registration.

    We are looking for your students! 

    We’re looking for students with grit, determination and financial need. Students ready to take on a rigorous, top-ranked liberal arts education and turn it into a rewarding career. Students willing to work, to grow, and to expand their horizons through diversity. And students who want to join a community of support that is invested in their success.
