Alexandra Dick

Sterling College

Ally exemplifies what we expect from a student leader on our campus. She consistently delivers high quality work, empowers the students she manages on the Livestock Crew, and is always willing to lend a hand. Ally’s positive attitude when facing challenges is appreciated by all who work with her, but it is her willingness to ask questions and challenge all of us to improve that has made her invaluable to the Sterling College Work Program.

UNIFIED BY PURPOSE

OUR WORK COLLEGE MEMBERS

There are currently ten federally recognized Work Colleges, and nine are members of the Work Colleges Consortium. These institutions are small, private, liberal arts colleges with modest enrollments that range from about 150 to approximately 1,600 students. Each school is unique and operates the work program in a slightly different fashion. However, “work-learning-service” is a central component of each Work College. Student work, coupled with robust academics and a spirit of service, is the common denominator shared by all the Work Colleges.
