Berea Beloved Spotlight
The Berea Beloved Spotlight showcases the achievements, projects, and meaningful contributions of students, faculty, staff, and alumni that exemplify excellence and bring pride to the our Berea Beloved community.

Faculty Spotlight: Dr. Doug Drewek
Drewek created the electronic music minor at Berea. “This minor isn’t just for music majors on campus,” he said, “it really is interdisciplinary. It includes classes in communication, music, electronics and computer science coming together to give a broad perspective on the area of electronic music. It gives students the ability to pair their interest in electronic music with other areas of interest.”

Alumni Spotlight: Sean Hall ‘25
After winning a regional Emmy before he even graduated, Sean Hall was able to drop the word “aspiring” before the word “filmmaker.” But that kind of success doesn’t happen overnight. Read about Sean’s journey and watch his award-winning piece about the Berea College Crafts program.

Student Spotlight: Feda ‘27
An act of terrorism nearly cut Feda’s life and ambition short. Facing unimaginable hardship, this Afghan refugee turned award-winning education advocate has big plans to help people back home take control of their futures.
