Alice Lloyd College
Alice Lloyd - Brittany Amburgey-2

Brittany has always been an exemplary student both academically and with the work program.  During the last year and a half of her college career, her direct supervisor became ill.  Brittany stepped up to handle not only her job as a student supervisor, but that of her supervisor.  She organized the Christmas Pretties program for the campus and surrounding schools, the Christmas ornament production and mailings for the donors in addition to her regular supervisory duties.  During this time, she was also completing an accounting internship, along with her regular class schedule, working 30+ hours a week, and adjusting to life as a newlywed. With all this, Brittany was still quick to volunteer any where she was needed.  Brittany definitely walked the Purpose Road as a leader, providing encouragement and support to everyone around!

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.
