For the second consecutive year, Norco College was named a “Great College to Work For" by The Chronicle of Higher Education.

A total 236 institutions participated, including 152 four-year and 84 two-year institutions. Only 85 were recognized, including 60 four-year and 25 two-year institutions.

“We are honored to be recognized," said Interim President Monica Green. “I am proud of the diverse talents and contributions of our employees that make Norco College a great place to work."

Norco College has approximately 500 employees and serves over 15,000 students.

The survey results are based on a two-part assessment process: an institutional audit that captured demographics and workplace policies, and a survey administered to faculty, administrators and professional support staff. The primary factor in deciding whether an institution received recognition was the employee feedback.

To administer the survey and analyze the results, The Chronicle of Higher Education worked with ModernThink LLC, a strategic human capital-consulting firm that has conducted numerous “Best Places to Work" programs, surveying hundreds of thousands of employees nationwide.
