Employment Engagement Survey 2024
Loyola’s new strategic plan, Together We Rise, sets a goal for the University to be recognized as a “Great College to Work For” by The Chronical of Higher Education. The Great Colleges to Work For survey presents an opportunity to assess the climate of our workforce, and most importantly, to provide an anonymous mechanism for you to express honest feedback.
