College Spotlight: Warren Wilson College

I had the pleasure of visiting Warren Wilson College in Asheville, North Carolina on a gorgeous fall day last week. WWC is one of the Colleges that Change Lives and also has the unique distinction of being one of eight colleges in the United States designated as a Work College. Every student who calls Warren Wilson home is assigned to one of over 85 work crews, and money earned is applied to tuition. Work opportunities are as diverse as the student body with job titles ranging from 3D Art Studio Assistant to Blacksmith to Forestry Crew Member. Community service is also an important element of a Warren Wilson education, and all students are required to complete at least 100 hours prior to graduation.
