The History Workshop created an exhibit for Berry College which focused on the school's unique sporting tradition. The college's sports program began humbly and has become very successful. The exhibit tells the history of the sporting program and the many interesting traditions that have developed at the school over time. The History Workshop developed a broad range of themes to tell this story, including "Founding Members", "Humble Beginnings", "Athletic Philosophy", "Student Traditions", and "Commitments to Competition." The exhibit at Berry College intends to instill a sense of pride and heritage in students, faculty, and alumni for the unique history of Berry's sporting tradition.
