Prathana Shrestha
Sterling College, Maintenance Crew in Fall 2018 and Roots Liaison in Spring 2019
Sterling College
Prathana’s work with the Maintenance Crew over the last few semesters has been outstanding! While most students were off with family and friends on Christmas break, Prathana was hard at work ripping, tearing, lugging, painting, and sawing and generally throwing down to get critical bathroom renovations completed on time for her fellow students’ return to campus. Prathana is humble, hardworking, and thoughtful, and has made strong contributions to the College’s functionality, safety, and overall wellbeing.
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.
