Berkeley Carroll states that it attracts families from across New York City and New Jersey, and the Bongsoon Zubay Athletic Center welcomes members of the community for recreational use during early mornings, evenings, and weekends from September through July. The Communications Office is led by Director of Strategic Communications Joanna Rodriguez Dugan, who oversees media and external relations for the school.
