Berea College

Quote from the Supervisor: “Our 2023 student of the year has exhibited a job well done during their time at Berea College. This student credits their original interest in their chosen fields of study to volunteer work she has done with Oysters and Pearls Foundation in the Gulu district of Uganda – an organization that empowers visually impaired children with Information and Communication Technology skills. During her time at Berea our student employee of the year has utilized leadership skills and her understanding of Computer Science and Mathematics to begin two new club chapters on campus – the National Society of Black engineers and Girls Who Code. Throughout her time on campus this student has worked in Technology and Applied Design, IS&S, Boone Tavern, the Log House, Weaving, Hutchins Library, and Computer Science.”
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.
