The University of South Carolina is among the Most Promising Places to Work in Student Affairs according to ACPA-College Student Educators International and Diverse: Issues in Higher Education magazine.

The list includes 22 U.S. colleges and universities and was compiled by surveying the schools on topics including family friendliness, salary, benefits and professional development opportunities.

“We are immensely proud of this recognition of our efforts to make USC’s Division of Student Affairs and Academic Support a place where people feel they’re valued and able to do meaningful work for students, have fun and make progress toward their career goals,” said Vice President for Student Affairs and Academic Support J. Rex Tolliver.

USC is the only school in South Carolina to make the list, which will be published in the March 14 issue of Diverse. Schools featured on the list also will be honored during the ACPA annual convention March 19 in Chicago.
