Levi Kurtenbach
Berea College, International Student and Scholar Services at the Center for International Education
Berea College
I have known Levi since his sophomore year when he joined my team at the Center for International Education. While Levi has worked with the CIE I have watched him grow exponentially. He came to us shy, reserved, and unsure as to what he wanted to do in life. But one thing was always a constant; he wanted to help people. He is always on time. He is a planner. He is a doer. He is kind, loyal, honest, and compassionate to the needs of others. He is observant and takes initiative. He consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty. And does so with a smile on his face. Levi is patient, kind, and willing to help anyone and everyone. He has a thirst for knowledge and a desire to be the best version of himself at all times. His dedication and work ethic are infectious and encourages others to do the same. He is a true leader. It is for these reasons that Levi is deserving of recognition for all of his hard work.

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.
