W&M Student Affairs recognized as great place to work

The Center for Higher Education Enterprise Ohio State University in partnership with the American College Personnel Association has been producing the report since 2014. The research conducted by the CHEE focused on workplace diversity, staffing practices and the work environment.

“I am thrilled that W&M continues to be recognized nationally as a most promising place to work in Student Affairs. Creating open, respectful campus environments is essential, not only for our students to flourish, but for staff to thrive as well,” said Virginia M. Ambler, vice president of student affairs. “Our division is at its best when we honor all voices, when we value the uniqueness of people and perspectives and when we respect one another’s special expertise and talents. I am grateful to work with colleagues who share a deep commitment to diversity and inclusion. Not only are they remarkable role models for our students, but they are also a daily inspiration to me.”
91心頭利 was named on the first list of “Most Promising Places” in 2014. The following year, the university was named as one of the “2015 Most Promising Places to Work in Student Affairs at Research Institutions.”
