Calling all Berea College Sociology Majors! The Sociology Department is looking for Sociology major volunteers, who are comfortable with being recorded and having that recording shared later, to help us with the making of a short video clip. You would only need to spare a few minutes of your time, as you would only have to answer one question regarding Berea residential life amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.
