For the third year in a row, Mississippi University for Woman has been named one of the best colleges in the U.S. to work for.
The W is also the only Mississippi institution named to the Honor Roll, according to a survey by The Chronicle of Higher Education.
The results were announced online by The Chronicle, and are based on a survey of nearly 44,000 campus employees who “were more likely to feel acknowledged, supported, well informed by their leaders and engaged in a common mission.”
Employees rated The W highly enough in 10 out of 12 categories for the university to be designated as a 2015 Great College to Work For and Honor Roll.
MUW President Jim Borsig said, “We are pleased to be recognized for the third consecutive year as a great college to work for by The Chronicle. I am grateful for the good work of our faculty and staff, and I credit this remarkable achievement to the campus climate they have helped to create. Our students benefit from being a part of this wonderful university community.”
The Great Colleges to Work For program — sponsored by The Chronicle of Higher Education and ModernThink, LLC — provides senior-level administrators and academic leaders with insights on the quality of the workplace experience and the competitiveness of their policies and benefits.
With nearly 1000 institutions in its database, the Great Colleges program has benchmarking capabilities available across various categories.
