Kent State Makes 'Great Colleges to Work For' List

made the list as one of the 2011 "Great Colleges to Work For," by The Chronicle of Higher Education. The program recognizes small groups of colleges based on enrollment for specific best practices and policies.

The results are based on a survey of close to 44,000 employees at 310 colleges and universities and Kent State employees rated the institution highly enough to be recognized in the Compensation and Benefits category for universities with 10,000 or more students.

“Kent State has received many honors and recognitions this past year, including being named among the top 200 universities in the world and growing our enrollment to now rank as Ohio’s second largest public university,” said Stephane Booth, associate provost for quality initiatives and curriculum. “What is particularly special about this achievement is that it is based on the feedback of our faculty and staff. As members of the Kent State community, we take great pride in our institution and have a shared commitment to excellence, demonstrating ‘Excellence in Action’ every day.”

Human Resources Vice President Willis Walker said the university's compensation package includes health benefits, a tuition waiver, employee assistance program and more.

The university was also recognized in 2009.
