UC Riverside has been named among the top 30 “Most Promising Places to Work in Student Affairs.”

The Office of Student Affairs’ selection for the honor will be featured in the June issue of “Diverse: Issues in Higher Education” magazine. 

“We are honored to be selected among this year’s top universities and colleges,” said Brian Haynes, vice chancellor for student affairs. “Our staff is committed to the success of our students and ensuring the work we do only enhances their student experience at UCR.”

The survey, conducted with ACPA-College Student Educators International, is in its eighth year.

Institutions are surveyed in categories including diversity, family friendliness, salary/benefits, and professional development. The magazine selected 30 colleges and universities nationally, listed in alphabetical order, which best exemplify workplace diversity, staffing practices, and work environment.

The recognition celebrates student affairs workplaces that are “vibrant, diverse, supportive, and committed to best practices,” the survey organizers stated.

Student Affairs oversees a number of services in the areas of campus life, ethnic and gender programs, and health and wellness.
