Quote from the supervisor: “I nominated Stephen for the Job Well Done Award for a combination of reasons. Stephen used his prior experience as Library Assistant in the Sterling College Brown Library, to step up in responsibility as a student leader in the library during an interim period following the retirement of our long-serving Librarian. Stephen combined reliability with creativity in his role, for example, running a student survey about library usage information from which he immediately applied in choosing the siting of accessible computer work-stations; improving communication out to the community about library services; and serving as student representative on the Search Committee for a new Librarian. In this work he thoughtfully engaged as a colleague, not afraid to respectfully share his ideas and perspectives even if they differed from his supervisor -a trait much appreciated!”

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.
