Colleagues:
Kent State University is participating in The Chronicle's Great Colleges to Work For program, a study designed to recognize institutions that have built great workplaces.
Part of the program involves an employee survey distributed to a sample of each institution's full-time faculty, administrators, exempt, and non-exempt staff. An invitation to take this survey was distributed to a random selection of our employees on March 16, 2015. The deadline to complete the survey is April 13, 2015.
I want to extend a thank you to those of you who have already completed the survey. We appreciate your taking the time to share your views and opinions.
If you have not yet completed the survey, please take a moment to do so. We value your feedback. The results will be factored into the overall scoring process that will ultimately determine the institutions recognized. The Chronicle of Higher Education will publish the findings this summer in a special Academic Workplace supplement due to be released at the end of July.
I encourage everyone's participation. A high response rate helps to ensure accurate results and demonstrates the commitment of our workforce. Whether or not Kent State is recognized, we can learn from the feedback and make improvements for our future.
Thank you in advance for your participation. Please contact Dr. Fashaad Crawford, Assistant Provost for Accreditation, Assessment and Learning, by email (fcrawfo1@kent.edu) or by phone at (330) 672-3930, or visit www.ChronicleGreatColleges.com if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Todd A. Diacon, Ph.D.
Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost
