A MODEL WEARS the Tembo bow tie from Lions Thread. The business, started by senior Sydney Hulebak and alumna Brin Enterkin (12), benefits Ugandan women and orphans by selling bow ties.
to think about what else I was passionate about, and that is fashion and doing good. Hulebak said she has always had an interest in fashion and how it can help organizations, like nonprofits, grow. It was this passion for both fashion and social enterprise that gave Hulebak and Enterkin the idea for Lions Thread. The goal of selling bow ties is not to create a piece of fashion that makes people look good, but rather a piece of fashion that does good. Lions Thread currently employs five Ugandan women who handcraft the bow ties out of African fabrics. These women, who receive profits from every bow tie, are also part of an entrepreneurship program with Lions Thread, where they learn the skills needed to be successful with

and said this experience has fueled her passion for helping others. Having these experiences of service at Berry is unique and has helped me realize how easy it is to do good in the world as long as you have a passion to do it, Hulebak said. My focus with fashion has shifted from one of self-promotion to wanting to do fashion but making it fashion with a heartbeat. And thats what Lions Thread is really all about, empowering people to do great things.

While Lions Thread currently has pages on social media sites, it is also in the process of setting up a website and online store that will be up and running later this month. Besides the launching of the store, there are plans to eventually partner with other online marketing sites that focus on fashion and positive social change. The bow ties may also possibly appear in retail shops in the future. It is exciting to see how this idea that started in the fall of 2012 has turned into an actual business and is growing rapidly just a year later, Hulebak said. Hulebak is also the director of Berry College Volunteer Services

1)What is your favorite memory at Berry? 2) How has the Berry experience impacted you? 4) What has been your biggest accomplishment while at Berry?
Drew Wilburn, Accounting & Marketing with a minor in Economics Senior Class Treasurer
1) My favorite memory from Berry is from my freshman year. My friends and I were playing Manhunt around campus, just running around and stuff. ... It was a lot of fun being able to hang out and relax. Because we all ended up doing other stuff, [we had] busy schedules as we got later into college. So being able to hang out in a large group was a lot of fun. 2) I feel like it has helped me grow in a lot of ways. I used to be much more of an introvert. I'm more outgoing, and I've had opportunities to develop relationships with people, and that's been exciting. I've had opportunities to gain a wide variety of experiences that help you get a well-rounded view of things, but also to gain experience and knowledge in areas that you want to go into, such as business. 3) One of the things that has been helpful for me has been being involved in several different student organizations and clubs on campus, and that has been great for meeting people, but it's also been great for networking with professionals and with developing skills that are good for preparing you for life after Berry. 4) I think it was exciting working with the other senior class officers to put on the Old Faces talent show. 5) Deerfield for sure. The rooms in Deerfield had more workable space. And since they're the newest rooms on campus, they're really nice.

On April 5, the varsity womens Berry crew team won gold in their regatta at the Guntersville Sprints race in Alabama. This was the first gold in crew for Berry in five years. The team as a whole placed third in the regatta, competing against other schools such as Louisiana State University, University of Alabama-Huntsville, Samford, Sewanee and the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga. The mens novice A and B won silver in their respective heats, while the womens novice A and B brought home the bronze. The regatta was a 2K-sprint race. Most spring regattas are sprints, meaning that boats row 2,000 meters as quickly as they can. The race is divided into lanes, and rowers start by launching off the dock and rowing to the starting line. Once boats get to the start, they line up with the other two to six boats in their heat and wait for the signal to start. A typical 2K time for a womens boat is around eight to nine minutes, and mens times are usually around seven to eight minutes. Sophomore Emily Melchior, of the womens varsity team, spoke about her experience at the regatta. Watching us pass the boat right next to us and then win was one of the most uplifting and exhilarating experiences Ive ever had, Melchior said. Working as diligently as we did and being a part of the success of the team is unforgettable.
THE BERRY CREW TEAMS VARSITY WOMEN WON gold in their most recent race at the Guntersville Sprints in Guntersville, Ala.. The mens novice teams won silver, and the womens novice teams won bronze.
Freshman Alex Pirkle said he appreciated the crew team and his positive experiences with the sport. Ive really enjoyed being a part of the Berry College Viking Crew team this year, Pirkle said. The sport itself and the closeness of the team is unlike any other club on campus. Berrys team consists of two varsity boats, with both men and women, and four novice boats, with two men and two women. After a year of rowing on the team and attending a crew camp, a novice becomes a varsity member. The Berry crew team races against larger schools like the University of Georgia, the University of Alabama, Georgia Tech and Clemson University at other regattas. The coach of the team, Andrew Williams, began two years ago, when there were five people on the team. Now, the team has 26 people: 11 men and 15 women. Williams said that the team has seen growth in a short amount of time. We have made incredible strides here in the last couple of years, Williams said. I do not believe that our recent success is a one-time fluke, but the precursor of many future victories. This team has made the transformation from the cocoon of mediocrity to the butterfly of excellence since I began my time as coach. The crew team has a spring and fall season and they typically attend three to four races per season, with four to eight practices a week. There is also an indoor winter season where they compete on the rowing machines.
