The Chronicle of Higher Education survey shows Austin Peay is a Great College to Work For. (Robert Smith, APSU Public Relations & Marketing)<\/p><\/div>\n

The results were released today, July 18th, in The Chronicle\u2019s ninth annual report on The Academic Workplace.<\/p>\n

\u201cAustin Peay is a great place to work because the faculty and staff come to campus every day with the goal of providing our students with a transformative educational experience,\u201d APSU President Alisa White said. \u201cTheir commitment to this institution continues to impress me, and this recognition reflects thesense of pride we all feel in preparing the world\u2019s next generation of leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n

In all, only 93 out of 281 institutions achieved \u201cGreat Colleges to Work For\u201d recognition for specific best practices and policies. APSU was honored because of its teaching environment and its tenure clarity and process.<\/p>\n

The results are based on a survey of employees at APSU. To administer the survey and analyze the results, The Chronicle worked with ModernThink LLC, a strategic human capital-consulting firm that has conducted numerous \u201cBest Places to Work\u201d programs, surveying hundreds of thousands of employees nationwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the key differences that contributes to how well a college moves forward is the quality of its communication, with both internal and external audiences,\u201d Richard K. Boyer, founding partner with ModernThink LLC, said. \u201cIt\u2019s probably not surprising, then, to see that when examining institutions that consistently rank high on the Great Colleges to Work For survey, it\u2019s clear that the quality of their communication helps create an environment in which faculty and staff members want to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Great Colleges to Work For is one of the largest and most respected workplace-recognition programs in the country.
