Mission
Statement
The mission of the Blackburn College student-managed
work program is to meet the labor needs of the campus
community, and to help better prepare students for a
successful transition to life, work and career after college
by:
-
Involving
students to the maximum extent feasible in the provision
of all goods and services needed and/or provided by the
college.
-
Reducing the cost of a four-year, private
college education through student “self-help.”
-
Providing “hands-on” work, service and
leadership learning opportunities in addition to
the classroom.
-
Providing an added dimension of community
involvement, and student character development
emphasizing a strong work ethic, responsibility
and accountability.

“I learned what was
essential to becoming successful after college.
Even though the Work Program was demanding, it
gave me the experience and skills necessary to
secure a job quickly after graduating. I am
forever grateful.”
