Defining Boundaries: An Interview with a Graduated Centenary Student Worker

Student workers inhabit unique positions on a college campus. At Centenary, their contributions are invaluable to the continued successful operation of the school. On one hand, they are workers expected to fulfill the duties of their position. They have job standards to maintain, an image to uphold, and are given a breadth of responsibility more on par with full-time careers. While on the other hand, they are simply students (most barely out of high school), who are just taking a job so that they can afford the bare minimum standard of living while pursuing a rigorous standard of education. At Centenary, our student workers serve not only as students, friends, and peers, but as counselors, babysitters, disciplinarians, emergency personnel, and so much more.
