Abstract
In this chapter, how college impacted the paths these 68 participants took after college are featured. They pursued a variety of fields of study and careers upon leaving their college (whether through attrition or graduation), including education, ministry, civil service, the arts, business and entrepreneurship, and the law. In the narratives that begin this chapter, the participants share what effect they believe their education at their GLCA institution has had on their lives since then.
The ten narratives in this chapter, presented alphabetically by institution, reflect the breadth of responses I received from participants when I asked them what role their college had played in their lives or what difference their college had made in their lives.
