The College, with its dedicated personnel who have a passion for excellence, a zeal for continual personal and professional improvement, a caring attitutde toward students, and a desire to work with trustees and other friends in developing an institution directed and sustained by Christian principles, will be one of the most distinctive liberal arts institutions in the Appalachian region.
< CollapseAlice Lloyd College is a four-year liberal arts work college in Pippa Passes, Kentucky. It was founded by the Cambridge, Massachusetts-born journalist Alice Spencer Geddes Lloyd in 1923, initially under the name Caney Junior College, as an institution which would educate leaders for Appalachia locally. It became a four-year, bachelor's degree-granting institution in the early 1980s. Alice Lloyd College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
While Alice Lloyd College does not rely on any direct financial support from the state or federal governments, they do accept federal and state student financial aid such as federal Pell Grants. Students are required to work in a work study program regardless of financial situation. They are given jobs such as janitorial staff, office assistant, tutor, craft maker, resident advisor, maintenance, grounds or working in the cafeteria (Hunger Din). Students are required to work 10 hours a week, with the exception of student supervisors who work 20 hours a week, for minimum wage.
Alice Lloyd College requires students to live in gender-separated dormitories and only allows the opposite sex into a gender-specific dorm during "open houses", after room checks are made. Room checks consist of two resident advisors (RA's) going into each individual room and making sure it is clean and does not contain any illegal substances. The college is located in Knott County, Kentucky, a dry county, so drinking is not allowed.
Tuesdays are professional dress days where students are required by instructors, except for physical education classes housed in the Grady Nutt Athletic Center, to dress in business attire to attend any class before 2pm.
The college choir is called the "Voices of Appalachia." They assist in collecting donations for the college at various parts of the United States.
The college offers a series of speakers and events called convocations. Students are required to attend six convocations per semester.
