Samford Named in Top 150 Great Colleges to Work for

Samford University was named to a list of the 150 Great Colleges to Work For, released July 6 by The Chronicle of Higher Education.  The survey was based on responses from about 41,000 administrators, faculty and staff members at 247 institutions.

Samford made the honor roll in five categories:  teaching environment, overall satisfaction with benefits, connection to institution and pride, health insurance and life insurance. The 150 schools were ranked by enrollment in 26 categories, with Samford falling in the middle listing of 3,000–9,999 total enrollment.

Questionnaires were administered online in the spring to randomly selected lists of employees.

Samford was one of three Alabama colleges to make the list. Also included were Birmingham-Southern College and Birmingham-based Southeastern Bible College.
