Treah Caldwell: Why I Support a Living Wage at ASC December 13, 2007

 

I support a living wage because I care about the behind the scenes
work that went (and goes) on to make Agnes Scott a beautiful, calm
place to learn, to grow, to make mistakes and to keep trying.  As much
as I loved my professors who pushed me, who held me, who taught me so
much. I also loved the good folk who cleaned up after me, fed me, made
the quad a wonderful place to lay down and rest in the shining sun and
bright green grass.

I was taught to do right work, to make the world a better place for
women, for everyone. How can I go forward and NOT stand next to the
other staff, faculty, and alumna as we work to make a positive,
healthy change for a school I love so much?
