MDC named Best Place to Work

For the tenth consecutive year, Miami-Dade College (MDC) has been named among the nation’s Great Colleges to Work For, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education, a major higher education publication. In addition, MDC again made the honor roll for being recognized in multiple categories.
“We are honored to once again receive this recognition. It truly speaks to the faculty and staff at MDC, who are second to none, who truly make this a great place to work and create an exceptional learning environment for all our students,” said MDC’s President Dr. Eduardo J. Padrón. “I look forward to continuing this tradition of excellence.”
MDC was recognized in the following categories – collaborative governance; confidence in senior leadership; diversity; professional/career development programs; respect and appreciation; supervisor/department chair relationship; and teaching environment (faculty only).
“The Great Colleges to Work For distinction is well-known by academic jobseekers as a sign that an institution’s employees are valued and given opportunities for growth even when they face financial constraints,” said Liz McMillen, editor of The Chronicle. “Any college or university that’s on the list is showing that they emphasize one of their most valuable assets: their faculty and staff.”
MDC joins other top institutions in receiving this distinction including the University of Notre Dame, Quinnipiac University and the University of Southern California, among others.
