COACHE Celebrations

°®¶¹´«Ã½ has many areas to celebrate, based on the results of the COACHE Faculty Job Satisfaction survey.

The Best Aspects of Working at °®¶¹´«Ã½

The survey asked respondents to identify "the two best aspects of working at °®¶¹´«Ã½." Below are the overall winners.

  • Our Colleagues

    Quality & Support of Colleagues

    Two of the most common responses were Quality of Colleagues and Support of Colleagues. °®¶¹´«Ã½ is often described as being a "relational" campus, and °®¶¹´«Ã½ faculty agree: they enjoy working with each other.

  • Our Location

    Geographical Location

    It will surprise no one that °®¶¹´«Ã½ faculty like where they work--not just working on "America's most beautiful campus," but also working and living in the Winter Park/Orlando area of central Florida.

  • Our Students

    Quality of Undergraduate Students

    One of the main reasons why faculty choose to work at a place like °®¶¹´«Ã½ is because they love to teach. But °®¶¹´«Ã½ faculty don't just love to teach. They love to teach °®¶¹´«Ã½ students.

Areas of Strength

The summary report of the COACHE survey begins by identifying the strengths and concerns indicated by comparing °®¶¹´«Ã½'s survey data with comparison institutions. The report listed nine areas of strength and zero areas of concern. The nine strengths fall into the following three themes:

  • Collaboration

    Given the frequency of faculty selecting "Quality of Colleagues" and "Support of Colleagues" as "Two Best Aspects" of working at °®¶¹´«Ã½ (see above), it's not surprising that Collaboration was also identified as one of our strengths.

  • Governance & Faculty Leadership

    Five of our nine strengths focus on some form of institutional infrastructure: "Leadership: Faculty," "Governance: Adaptability," "Governance: Productivity," "Governance: Shared Sense of Purpose," and "Governance: Understanding the Issue at Hand."

  • Tenure & Promotion

    Three of the nine strengths compared to our peer institutions relate to tenure and promotion: "Promotion to Full," "Tenure Expectations: Clarity," and "Tenure Policies."
