Berea College has been graduating students for more than 150 years, people who have made a positive difference in health care, engineering, government, and the arts around the world. But in May of 2022, the College graduated something entirely new – a nonprofit that supports the educational success of more than 50,000 students a year across Appalachian Kentucky. Launching Partners for Rural Impact (formerly Partners for Education at Berea College) will empower it to collaborate with other rural communities and build a national movement to support educational success.
