Five Easy Steps
Mary Lyle's interest in work-study programs began many years ago. When Lyle was working as a teacher in Atlanta, she started a work-study program at her school. As a donor of the Southern Fund, she was delighted when her gift created campus jobs for 75 students.
Lyle had arranged to make a planned gift to Southern after her death, but decided instead to begin making gifts while she was still living. Students and the university alike will benefit from the program as a portion of students' earning go toward their tuition, and the jobs will come at no cost to the employing departments.
Southern has a long tradition of teaching students about service to others, and with the Fall '12 catalog, service has officially been added to the curriculum.
Through support from the Service Learning Initiative, Southern is partnering with individuals, corporations and foundations to provide more opportunities for service learning within all academic programs. Before graduation, students will benefit through hands-on learning and major-specific classes that offer general community service events or mission outreach.
Every year when 75-80 percent of the academic year is through, students celebrate Tuition Freedom Day, acknowledging Southern's donors and the gifts that cover the rest of the university's operation costs. As students learn how generous gifts provide scholarships, programs, and buildings, they are inspired to find their own ways to honor the tradition of giving.
