\"AustinClarksville, TN<\/strong> – For the fourth consecutive year, Austin Peay State University is one of the best colleges in the nation to work for, according to a recent survey by The Chronicle of Higher Education. In addition, APSU is the only university in Tennessee to make the national publication\u2019s \u201cGreat Colleges to Work For 2015\u201d list.<\/p>\n

The results were released earlier this week in The Chronicle\u2019s eighth annual report on The Academic Workplace.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>\u201cAustin Peay State University is a great place to work because employees take ownership of the institution,\u201d APSU President Alisa White said. \u201cWe take responsibility for the institution and one another. Many employees are involved in the institution outside of work hours, participating in staff activities, attending campus events and investing in meaningful relationships with co-workers. Employees have built a rich Austin Peay culture, which has become a rewarding way of life.\u201d<\/p>\n

In all, only 86 institutions achieved \u201cGreat Colleges to Work For\u201d recognition for specific best practices and policies. Results are reported for small, medium and large institutions, with APSU included among the large universities with 10,000 or more students.<\/p>\n
