WORK LEARNING SERVICE
Job Well Done Awards
Anne R. Cinnamond
Berea College, Building Manager at Hutchins Library
Berea College
I consider it an honor to nominate Anne for this award as she is with no doubt the best labor student I have had work for me at Hutchins Library and I have been here for 21 years. Though many student workers find satisfaction in performing their day-to-day duties, Anne always asks for and longs for more responsibility. She has a hunger to learn and a drive to provide exemplary service. Her goal is not to complete the tasks assigned, but to complete them in a professional manner not found in the majority of student workers. In working with Anne, I have found that she exhibits well the workplace expectations as laid out by the Berea College Labor Office. She exhibits great enthusiasm for learning, she cares and respects her peers and all those around here as well as the staff under which she has worked. Anne works well on her own and also as a team player. She takes pride in her work and strives to be the best at every task she has been assigned. Anne is also exceedingly kind and feels it her duty to give back or “pay it forward” when it comes to passing on her knowledge and expertise to incoming student workers.
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.
