BRCC participated in The Chronicle of Higher Education's 2009 survey of “Great Colleges to Work For.” The final results were released on 7/6/09 and BRCC was recognized as a “Great College to Work For” in 11 of the 15 two-year college categories. We were recognized in the following areas:
As a result of achieving this designation in so many different areas, we were also listed on the Chronicle’s “Honor Roll” as one of the top three 2-year colleges in our size category! Honor roll members in the four-year college & university category included institutions such as Furman, Rice, Cornell, Duke, Emory, George Mason, and Notre Dame.
According to The Chronicle, recognition was based on the results of responses from nearly 41,000 administrators, faculty members, and staff members at 247 institutions. The number of institutions participating in this survey makes it the second-largest workplace-recognition program in the country, after Fortune's “100 Best Companies to Work For.” In addition to the employee survey, the assessment process also included an analysis of demographic data and workplace policies at each participating college or university.
Participating institutions were segmented into four-year and two-year schools, and then within those categories, institutions were classified based on undergraduate and graduate enrollment: small (fewer than 3,000 students), medium (3,000 to 9,999 students), and large (more than 10,000 students). BRCC achieved its eleven designations in the 2-year, medium-sized enrollment category.
