Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville (SIUE) has been named one of the Most Promising Places to Work in Student Affairs (PPWSA).
This is the second consecutive year that the university has received the PPWSA award.
Diverse: Issues in Higher Education published the listing in the Feb. 25 edition of the magazine. The American College Personnel Association - College Student Educators International, the Center for Higher Education Enterprise (CHEE) at The Ohio State University and the magazine collaborated on the study.
“The university’s Division of Student Affairs displays a strong commitment to the mission, vision and values of SIUE,” SIUE Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Jeffrey Waple said. “On a daily basis, they work to enhance a welcoming campus culture that features citizenship, inclusion, wisdom, excellence and integrity.”
SIUE is one of the 19 institutions that received the PPWSA award. Other institutes include Arkansas State University-Beebe, Bridgewater State University, Bryant University, California State University Channel Islands and Centre College. The list also includes Texas State University, University of Maine at Machias, University of West Georgia and The University of Vermont.
The CHEE research team conducted the survey online to research categories such as salary benefits, professional opportunities and family friendliness. The focus was on workplace diversity as well.
