SHERMAN, TEXAS - Austin College was named one of the "2008 Great Colleges to Work For" in the July 18 issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education, scoring a top 5 placement in 17 of 27 categories.

"I am proud of the faculty and staff of the Austin College community who make this a great place to work," said Oscar C. Page, Austin College president. "Each person contributes to a positive environment that is characterized by respect and support for one another."

Austin College employees were asked to score the college in survey categories such as work-life balance, compensation and benefits, internal communications, confidence in senior leadership, respect and appreciation, teaching environment, and healthy faculty-administration relations.

"Independent surveys are important because responses are generally honest and sincere," said Heidi Ellis, Vice President for business affairs at Austin College. "I believe this is a terrific place to work, and this survey confirms to me that many others feel that way as well."
