Navarro College named a “2025 Great College to Work For”

This honor puts Navarro College in elite company.

 

Navarro College is one of the best colleges in the nation to work for, according to the Great Colleges to Work For® program.

The results, released today in a special insert of The Chronicle of Higher Education, are based on a survey of 199 colleges and universities. In all, 76 of those institutions achieved “Great College to Work For” recognition for specific best practices and policies. Results are reported for small, medium, and large institutions, with Navarro College included among the medium institutions with 3,000 to 9,999 students.

Navarro College won honors in seven categories this year:

• Professional Development

•  Mission & Pride

• Supervisor/Department Chair Effectiveness

•  Confidence in Senior Leadership

•  Faculty & Staff Well-being

•  Shared Governance

• Faculty Experience

Navarro College was also named to the Great Colleges Honor Roll, a status granted to only 42 colleges each year who are highlighted most across the recognition categories.

“Being named a 2025 Great College to Work For® and earning a place on the Honor Roll is a true reflection of the dedication, collaboration, and pride of our faculty and staff. At Navarro College, we are committed to fostering a supportive and empowering environment where every team member feels valued and connected to our mission of student success. This recognition affirms that Navarro College is not only an outstanding place for students to learn, but also an exceptional place for employees to grow and thrive,” said Dr. Kevin G. Fegan, Navarro College District President.

The survey results are based on a two-part assessment process: an institution questionnaire that captures employment data and workplace policies from each institution, 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.

The Great Colleges to Work For® program is one of the largest and most respected workplace-recognition programs in the country.
